Israeli Security Opens Fire on a MacBook. Thrice.

So the questions are why did they consider her laptop to be a potential bomb, and how would I avoid having them consider mine the same way?

I have carried laptops through Israeli security twice, both times after being among Arabs (once in the West Bank and once in Jordan) and while carrying lots of printed material in Arabic. Each time I was taken aside questioned, *everything* in my luggage was searched, and the laptops were x-rayed. And it was all done very efficiently and professionally I would like to add.

Assuming that they weren't just harassing her and that they had already x-rayed the computer, what was it about it that made them treat it as a bomb?

In other words, how do I make sure I don't have my laptop blown up the next time I pass through Israeli security?

if i ever brought my laptop through somehwhere, and the security shot at it, there would be no more security as soon as i found out, if you know what i mean 😉

This is what you get by giving weapons to unintelligible monkeys. Guess the next generation of laptops should be bulletproof to allow safe travel through airports. Maybe gorilla glass saw this day coming and that's what they have been working towards.
