No bad ill toward the really wonderful organizers
of Wikimania (you
really rocked !), but to me, this behavior at borders security goes
beyond what I consider acceptable. Even if it has no obvious outcome, I
would really like that those who had bad experience report it either to
their embassy or to Israel officials. Somehow, I think that a 3 hours
check, with body search and confiscation of items, for citizens who show
really no sign of being dangerous for the State of Israel and which are
leaving the country (not entering it) and doing so in non-Israelian
flight companies, is simply not respectful of human rights.
That might be put in
other words — like not respecting the local situation and local standard procedures.
If local standard procedures involve stealing people property, I would
not say this deserve any respect. Stealing is stealing. In any country.

Being thoroughly checked twice both at entrance and at the departure, I never felt even
slightly enoyed by that. It's another country, another situation, we are not even
slightly capable to understand fully.
The world is not everywhere like it is in Schengen. And, btw, at least in Israel they
didn't took my fingerprints as they did a couple of years on the border of Finland
(the only place on Earth having my fingerprints now).
