I remember a business trip to Jerualem in 1998. When travelling back we had to queue at the airport for our security screening for at least one hour (if my recollection is right) and then I had to go through a security screening, with a nosy officer asking all kind of questions about which places I had visited, with whom I have talked (we had done a private trip to the westbank the day before the business meeting), asking me to show her my name badge from the conference I had visited, asking to show her the slides of my presentation, and asking me to explain to her some parts of my presentation. If I remember right I did not have a laptop with me during that trip. I have never been treated like that at an airport, and I am not looking forward to repeat that experience. -Ralf. -- Ralf Treinen Institut de Recherche en Informatique Fondamentale Équipe Preuves, Programmes et Systèmes Université Paris Diderot, Paris, France. http://www.irif.fr/~treinen/
