Sansana, Thu 29.11.07, Morning

Arrived at 6.15. There were no people waiting at the sheds. We were told that the check in began early, and there were no problems.

We met Shlomi, who told us he was in charge of the civilians workers who will replace soldiers at the passages into Israel. He lectured us on the humanitarian advantages of the forthcoming change. Meantime, the late arrivals were asked to take off their shoes and coats, and their bags were searched. We assumed that the meticulous search was part of a lesson to the civilian trainees.
