No chance that insufficiently trained TSA worker might terrorize air travelers?

I think the message behind this quote is that the next time you're harassed by security because your sweating and having little muscle spasms as a result of carrying your heavy luggage through the terminal, remember its worse in Israel.
You'll feel a whole lot better about your situation.
