Would You Like an Ego Boost With Your Coffee? When Security Turns Flirtatious

When suicide bombings became de rigeur inside Israel at the turn of the century, most publicly accessed venues – restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, banks, etc. – began posting security people at entrances. Nowadays, nearly any place you go has someone standing or sitting at the front door wanting to take a peek through your bag or backpack or run a scanner over your body.

Don’t worry, U.S. and Western countries you’ll get there. It’s a matter of time.

But what you won’t get at your checkpoints is a certain, oh let’s just call it Flair, commonly encountered oer’ here yonder in Holy Land Central (HLC). Maybe you’d encounter it in Latin America or Italy or anywhere else I can think to stereotype.

Scene: Entrance to The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
Dialogue: Moi-Self and Security Guard

Mr. Security: Are you married?
Moi-Self: Why are you asking?
Mr. Security: Because I think you’re beautiful.
Moi-Self: Thanks. But yes, I am spoken for**
Mr. Security: Can I check your bag anyway?
Moi-Self: Gee, I’m not sure how to answer

**little white lies sometimes serve the moment

Flattering? Yes. Appropriate? Not really. Do I care? No.

Welcome. Have a Nice Day

    2. It is not a matter of time that America will end up like Israel. It is not going to happen. Why?

    Because while there are common enemies, there is no common cause.
