Speaking of the west bank, are there lingering hard feelings over the blockade?

Speaking of saying thanks to cops, I was stopped in Argentina at an Army road block. After having all my shit, all of it, searched by kids that didn't know what dental floss was, I said "gracias" to their C.O. as I was leaving. He was visibly surprised. But it was more like "thanks for not dissappearing me and shoving me out of a helicopter into the Rio de La Plata from the height of 2,000 feet like your colleagues did with such frequency during the rule of the generals."

Sometimes "thanks" is for the thing not done.
