Gal Shmuel Farjun, 29 years old, was arrested in October at Phuket Airport with two loaded magazines in his suitcase. Farjun claims to have left the bullets in his bag “by accident.” The Israeli Foreign Ministry had hoped Farjun would be deported, rather than jailed, given that Farjun has no criminal record in Israel. The suspected terrorist has been held under house arrest since he was apprehended at the airport on October 22. What might happen […]

Wow. Give him a fine, then deport and blacklist him. 

Right let it be known that it's no big deal to bring ammunition with you on a plane to Thailand.

He is a cop and it probably is an honest mistake. Now how he got past his airport checkpoint is a different story. Better than snakes on a plane, or 5 drug mules and only 2 get caught.

What's he going to do, bite the bullet? Well technically he already di byt the Thai conviction.

Israeli airport border controls must be super efficient.

Like to know the reason he was passed on by with no red flag. Because he showed his police badge and had special treatment?

Having crossed the Israeli border a few times, I'd agree that it''s the most secure, certainly, that I've ever crossed.  Not unpleasant or hostile, definitely not rude, but very, very careful.

If he got these things out of there, he was meant to get them out.

Isreal are supposed to have the most secure airport in the world... https://www.touristisrael.com/israeli-airport-security-things-to-know/

He had a clearance that allowed him to skate by unchecked. No one is just going to take clips of bullets. No reason for it and if he really wanted he could find them here if a little cash, and could find the part that they load into if he really really wanted. Not that hard.

18 months for bullets without a gun is utter hysteria.  Bullets without a gun doesn't indicate plotting.  It indicates a mistake.

And this Whitman writer constantly posts crap, idiocies, and editorials.  Here, he says about the Israeli, "why a potential foreign terrorist is being held under house arrest".  I will never click on another Whitman garbage article and if theThaiger continues to post his articles, I will stop coming to theThaiger.

The person in question should Sue Whitman for claiming he is a potential foreign terrorist. It’s a mistake. The bigger question, as people have already posted, is how the hell he got through Israeli security. To say it’s thorough is an understatement.
