Esta es la historia de una computadora portátil a la que le dispararon por si acaso, después de que la dueña fuera interrogada por cerca de dos horas por las autoridades israelíes, buscando algún rastro de palestinismo:

Then they asked me to wait. Since they had asked for friends and families phone numbers I assumed they might be calling to verify my answers to questions or confirm I really had extended family in Tel Aviv. An announcement played over the sound system, interrupting my break in the sunshine. First in Hebrew, then Arabic, then in English. It was something along the lines of, ” do not to be alarmed by gunshots because the Israeli security needs to blow up suspicious passanger luggage.”

I went inside to check on my bag. I had left it unattended, where they instructed. It was still there so I went back outside.

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. “

Asumo que los rayos X deben haber revelado algo lo suficientemente extraño como para que las autoridades decidieran meterle tres tiros para ver qué pasaba.

Por suerte, el disco duro -que contenía bastante información no respaldada- no salió afectado. La historia completa, en el blog de Lilly Sussman.
