Israel PM guards tell women to remove bras
Israel PM guards tell women reporters to remove bras
their bras for a security check before being allowed into the offices of Israel's prime minister.
The three women were told by security personnel to undress and take off their bras for x-ray in two separate incidents at the
Jerusalem offices of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu earlier this week. All three complied with the request, despite the distress it caused, in an incident denounced by the Foreign Press Association (FPA) as "unnecessary, humiliating and counterproductive." Each of the women was taken behind a curtain in the lobby of the entrance hall and patted down before being told to undress, then their bras were passed out in full view of male and female colleagues and security personnel, to be put through an x-ray machine. Their personal effects were also emptied out in public view and put through the machine. "The Foreign Press Association strongly condemns the continued harassment of journalists attending media events at the prime minister's office," a statement from the Tel-Aviv based group said. "This type of treatment is unnecessary, humiliating and counterproductive." Sara Hussein, who works for Agence France-Presse (AFP), described the incident as utterly humiliating. "I can only describe the experience as among the most humiliating in my life," she wrote in a complaint to the FPA. "I have covered meetings of presidents at the White House and not been subjected to anything similar." Neither of the other two women reporters, both of whom were deeply distressed by the incident, wished to be identified. All three have filed detailed complaints with the FPA, which is pursuing the matter with the Israeli authorities. Officials at the prime minister's office refused to comment directly on the two incidents, saying only: "We are aware of the concerns and we are looking into the matter." In January this year, Netanyahu's security staff came under fire for ordering a pregnant Arab correspondent for Al-Jazeera to remove her bra in order to attend a cocktail event for the press at a five-star hotel in Jerusalem. The FPA said it was considering whether or not to continue sending its members to events where they risked such treatment at the hands of the premier's security team. "After repeated appeals and promises by security officials, it appears that the prime minister's office does not have the desire to stop this happening," it said. "The FPA will begin consulting its members over whether the foreign media should no longer cover events at the PM's office as this is the only occasion where this type of incident occurs."
exactly...not only hidden explosive inside a bra, but inside a virgina as well
What I can't figure out are the a holes wearing belts, watches, shoes, wallets in their trousers who figure the announcements (oral) signs (visual) experience (the last time they went through airport security or even watching the guy in front of them in line) don't realize they have to remove their watch, shoes, belt - anything metal or metal related (coins etc) before they go thru the metal detector.
THEY'RE IDIOTS and only hold up the line- I think they ALL should be held for secondary security checks to teach them a lesson. I just came back from North America and was held up (mainly by men I must admit) who didn't think THEIR belt, THEIR shoes, THEIR personal jewellrey would set off the detector and at the other side, didn't think gathering all this stuff up would hold up the line. IDIOTS!
I've been selected for a pat down at airport security in Sharjah and Dubai because of an underwire bra - they DO set off alarms depending on the sensitivity of the equipment.
Journalists who are regularly subjected to metal detectors (as they are presumably in Israel should be well aware of this) and select undergarments accordingly).
I didn't and don't consider this to be embarrassing or humiliating - it's a security measure, one that protects me too (if someone else IS a terrorist trying to get past security).
Poor little girls. NOT! If you're embarrassed by the piece of clothing you wear, you've got other psychological problems that need to be addressed.
hahaha lol. i guess so! :)
They can pack a lot down there..lol
What weapons can they possibly hide beneath them?
dohabuilding, now tht is a nice qstn... likd it..
does the securities ask the pms wife also to remove the bra...........
..... and they have to be taken seriously indeed. Well they might have something hidden inside there which might create a serious incident or accident
sumone should stop his viagra supply
he is getting horny day by day
My underwired bras have never set any alarms at security points off (airports). This is done to embarrass the female journalists or else why would they not scan them discreetly or pre-warn ladies not to wear any garments with metal? How sad - they really expose themselves as individuals with low character and personality. Shame on Israel's PM not to demand RESPECT from his security officers.
@sanity I 100% agree with you. lol
I think the picture in this thread elucidates the title and i think he was telling "when I am not wearing that why should you wear it" lol :)
it can happen
Next time they will ask them to remove panties also.
This is totally okay. God knows what lures beneath a woman's cloth!
