2015-01-19 Tight Israeli security...
=========================
On the way out of Israel, I was stopped by security even before I entered the airport, was pulled to the side for a few questions...
On the way back, in the Zurich airport, after all the Swiss security checks, there was one last Israeli security check at the gate itself. I presented my boarding pass.
The young security guy (~30) asked me where I have been.
I answered "Zurich and Berlin".
Then his supervisor (over 50) intervened: "And what exactly did you do in Los Angeles?"
"I lived there for over 20 years," I answered.
"And what happened to your US passport?"
"I paid good money to get rid of it, " I answered.
Then the young guy intervened, "Yeah, that's what everybody in finance does nowadays".
I thought it was funny:
* The older guy had to show that they knew everything about me.
* The young guy mistook me for a bankster...
* The young guy confirmed what was clear to me for a long time - there is a large wave of renunciations.

All comments are welcome... especially any tips regarding corruption of the courts in Los Angeles. Anonymous tips are fine. One simple way to do it is from internet cafes, etc.
