but after this i was scared, and at every checkpoint my stomach turned and i hid my camera, even though i knew that my multiple privileges would protect my person, and probably even my property. i still took extra, goofy pictures of my friends, trees, sheep, goats, flowers to cover the other pictures i took of the wall, surveillance cameras, soldiers, etc. i felt like they knew everytime we went through a checkpoint that we weren’t tourists of the holy land, or the dead sea, or tel aviv night life. so we did go to the dead sea, to haifa, just so i would have a cover for airport security, and photos of the ocean and the bah’ai temple to show them.
