I thought el al had great screeners, what happened?
Considering how much they scrutinize the Arabs before allowing them on an ElAl plane. The guy is lucky he made it through security. You just about get a cavity check in all your cavities we’ll just say if you’re Arab.
Time for El Al to banish all Arabs from all their flight like all Arab workers have now been banished from crossing over into Israel.
Furthermore, this wicked Arab needs to be banned by all airlines from ever flying again.
Doesn’t ELAL have armed sky marshalls on every flight precisely for this reason?
“Time for El Al to banish all Arabs from all their flights”
Brilliant suggestion given that 15-20 percent of the citizens of Israel are “arab” (depending on how the term is defined.
