TEL AVIV, Israel (Ma'an) -- Israel's national airline El Al on Monday apologized to a visiting professor strip- searched on her way to conference in Jerusalem, an Israeli newspaper reported. Heather Bradshaw, a neuroscientist, was travelling from the UK to Israel at the invitation of Hebrew University when she was subjected a physical examination in which she was asked to remove her bra. She told the Israeli daily Haaretz that El Al security personnel detained her at Luton airport in London on 31 October, confiscated all of her belongings, and repeatedly questioned her. After nearly an hour of examinations, she was reportedly reprimanded for holding up the flight. Before leaving Israel Monday on a different carrier, the office of El Al's CEO called Bradshaw to apologize, telling her that it had opened an investigation, Haaretz reported. The airline also promised to compensate her for the inconvenience and the late arrival of her luggage, according to the report. The apology followed a letter to the airline from Hebrew University, Haaretz reported.

Wow the TSA is out of control, we should adopt Israeli security procedures because they know airport security better than we do. Oh wait....
she even looks like a terrorist: Oh wait.... Don't expect Whitesands to get the point. Once it grabs onto something, it never lets go.
Oh wait.... LMAO!
Never swear "allegiance" to anything other than the 'right to change your mind'!
That's it? One? One instance is all you Police State Patriot Act loving liberals can find. How about several a day! Cite the compensation the children being molested by blue city union members are to receive.

Actually, they do.
Obama's first all-by-his-lonesome budget, btw, calls for a $1.17 trillion deficit.
As I said, don't expect you to get the point.
On January 3, 2011 the GOP assumes responsibility for deficit spending.
