I am sorry for what happened to you. I really am.
I heard before that Israeli security can be scary if they sense you went to either Palestinian areas or some of their flags get triggered. But no excuse for them to do what they do.
I hope you raising this issue help you get your laptop back.
I personally worry that they might take my laptop from me and install some spyware, so I try not to carry one, or if I do, travel with Chromebook. Whenever I can get away without carrying laptop, it is huge relief to just breeze through customs. Essentially excuses they have to talk to you are diminished and potential for some unpleasant interaction are greatly reduced.
I carry Kindle and if I have to Chromebook, life is much simpler. Friends borrow me their laptops if I have to do some work.
Again, sorry for what is happening to you, I can't even imagine how horrible you are feeling, hope for quick and positive resolution.
- boltzmannbrain 8y agoThank you. It was an unfortunate learning lesson. Even if I do get my laptop back it won't be usable -- I have to assume they've gone through it and tampered somehow.
- iagovar 8y agoChromebook + https://www.paperspace.com/ https://www.paperspace.com/ may be a solution
- desireco42 8y agoI know, you always think it is something it happens to other people. Chromebook FTW

- house_atr 8y agoYou get used to it. What you went through is nightmare for the initiated. But for Palis who have to get "filtered" through cage complexes and fondled and split from their families by aggressive guards who each hate them with every ounce of their soul, just to go the next town, your experience is light.
