I never knew Israelis were so eager to go through security at the Tachana in Jerusalem. It is so reassuring to be pushed and shoved in security lines. It's truly inspiring to see how eager Israelis are to prove they are bomb-less. #olehproblems
I was going through security at the Central Bus Station in Jerusalem. I began to put my expensive DSLR Camera on the table when some guy roughly attempted to push me aside to get through. I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him back because a) I was ahead of him in line and b) I was afraid he'd jostle my camera and make it fall and break. He freaked out, said he was a cop (he wasn't) and demanded my Teudat Zehut number so that he could ruin my career. I of course refused and the security guards detained me until the dude calmed down and decided he wasn't going to press charges. I got lucky - he could have charged me. If you are ever in a situation like this, go on the offensive and press charges as well! Then the cops will be annoyed at the prospect of filling out all the forms and will do what they can to convince you both to just let it go.
