Noa Haviv

You haven't heard of Noa Haviv???? Well guess u haven't been following the papers recently. There are rumors of her being tried for conspiracy to her being a secret agent.

for the uninitiated she got into a El - Al flight from Israel to India. She got out of the flight. Cleared customs and security and went to the jet airways counter for her onward flight. There the security person sounded the alarm as there was a clip of bullets in her suitcase. Today's paper claims that the ammunition is legally registered to her brother. She had "borrowed" his suitcase, dumped her clothes in it and had no idea about it.

While there are lots of angles being discussed one point has been skipped in all articles I have read. HOW DID SHE MANAGE TO CLEAR CUSTOMS AND SECURITY while boarding and disembarking??? I mean after 9/11 we had a bunch of "extra security measures" that make us have to report an "extra' hour in advance. So is this to say that the extra security measures are all an eye wash? That they are plainly harassing us in the name of security? I mean, my dad's suitcase was broken because he had locked it when traveling from USA to India. Supposedly "for the security of all on board".

Makes one wonder doesn't it??

Definitely makes one wonder. You might want to have a look at this too...

Found her views interesting, but satirical and too anti-Israel. Gotta probe more. And so my comment as usual. :-)
