"Let me travel in peace
By Semih D. Idiz
I am the diplomatic editor for the Turkish network CNN Turk. I was in Israel recently to attend a conference at Ben-Gurion University. Following that I had the pleasure of interviewing your foreign minister, Silvan Shalom, on December 30. On finishing my duties I headed for Ben-Gurion Airport at 3:30 A.M. on December 31 to catch my 6:45 A.M. flight back to Turkey. Having been to Israel before, I was prepared for the security procedures, including the cross questioning by security officials there. Turkey, like Israel, also suffers from terrorism, so I am hardly in a position to object to this. I also travel frequently to the U.S. and Europe, so it is not as if I am a novice in this business. "
