Tel Aviv

You know when you go to the airport in Israel and they search through your bags, running all of your possessions, individually, through the x-ray machine? twice? And then when they're done with that they take you to that little room where they ask you to walk back and forth through the metal detector, taking off items of clothing until it stops beeping?
Did you know that there's a secret button somewhere in that room? And if you press it four undercover Israeli security guards with radios and guns come storming into your little metal detector room and no one says anything for a second and you think you're about to get hauled off to airport prison because you forgot to take the pack of gum out of your pocket and that's what kept beeping even though you had already taken off your shoes and belt and were wondering what else you could take off given that that curtain over the doorway was ridiculously small and kept flapping open anyway? Well, don't worry. They won't haul you away. And when you ask the guard who was supervising your trips through the metal detector, he'll just tell you that no, you're not in trouble, but that button sure is sensitive...
