I would love to be a fly on the wall of the IDF customs agent you have to
explain this to. I see no OPSEC problem whatsoever in travelling with a
laptop that has no hard disk. I cannot imagine any customs agent or other
two-bit security bureaucrat having a problem with that.

See what I just did there? I attacked the specific *text* of your response,
rather than what I believe to be true about you. I assume you'd not ever
recommend that interpretation of your words to someone, so how does it help
dialogue/discussion/liberation for me to engage in that line of reasoning?
