[ 36 / 36 ] THREAT LEVEL 6: “However, because we mentioned that we were one group and come together from Palestine, we all got the barcode starting with a SIX! YEAY! Therefore, we knew that the upcoming procedure would be fun. Most of us knew and experienced this procedure already, because some travelled a few times to Palestine and back to Germany.
I will copy the meaning of the different numbers from another traveller, who left Israel and explains the whole process pretty well and documented the whole procedure with pictures, except for the interrogation part in the private room of course; we did not want to take pictures, so we would not get into more trouble. It was nighttime and we travelled six hours earlier, so we would all make it through the security checks and checkpoints and do not miss our flights.
“Very basically the system goes from one through to six. The first two at least are reserved for Israelis themselves, diplomats, the type of people who aren’t considered a threat at all by Israeli security. Three to four are reserved for foreigners who aren’t considered a risk (and yes, racial profiling does play a part in this whether you like it or not), five is for foreigners who raise a couple of flags and in their eyes deserve a few more questions and perhaps a search, and six is considered a high security risk and will be controlled and searched thoroughly.”
