Alors qu’en règle générale, les personnes interrogées ont qualifié de « poli » et de « neutre » le comportement des fonctionnaires qui les avaient contrôlées, et ce quelles que soient leurs origines supposées, à la question de savoir quel effet ce contrôle avait produit sur les intéressés, les Noirs et les Arabes interrogés ont exprimés des sentiments fortement négatifs au regard de celles exprimées par les Blancs, contraste dont la cause possible est la plus grande fréquence à laquelle les membres des minorités visibles disent être contrôlés.

Facebook is retro because, like AOL, it’s retro by its nature. It’s a closed system. Some people like a closed comfy system and others don’t. I, for one, don’t. If I want a personal webpage with all sorts of information about myself, I’ll go to Wordpress.com and make one. By doing this, I don’t turn over any data, control, or information to an onerous third party to sell, use, or exploit. I can close down the site when I want. I can say what I want. I can pretty much do whatever.

Israeli security officers (most who looked around 18 years old) had completed around two hours of questioning and searching me. They had pressed every sock and scarf with a security device, ripped open soap and had me strip extra layers. They asked me tons of questions–where are you going? Who do you know? Do you have a boyfriend? Is he Arab, Egyptian, Palestinian? Why do you live in Egypt? Why not Israel? What do you know about the ‘conflict’ here? What do you think? They quized me on Judaism,which I know nothing about.
Moments later a man came outside and introduced himself as the manager on duty. And then, “I’m sorry but we had to blow up your laptop. “ What….all my client case notes and testimony, writing, pictures, music and applications.
Years of work. NO!!!! What?? Are you insane?? What were you thinking? THAT’S ALL MY WORK!? (via I’m sorry but we blew up your laptop (welcome to Israel) « Lilysussman’s Blog)
