With you or with those who'd been hired?

On my visit to Tel Aviv, I checked in all my luggage. I was just carrying a
sweater. Guard asked me put it through scanner. When I pointed that it was
easier for him to just check it by hand he responded "My job isn't make
things easier". I guess he meant "we paid shit load of money for this thing,
you know. Let's see how it works..."

I've been through 3 checkpoints until the airport and at each checkpoint I
was pointed light machineguns.

Entering the country took only 15 minutes or so, but getting out and
boarding plane took about 2 hours.
