Default Border security guards kill a MacBook

Young American woman travels over to Jerusalem to meet some friends, see the sights, live the life. Overzealous border security officers ask her a bunch of questions, take issue with her answers, and a few well-placed bullets later she is allowed entry into the country with a somewhat altered MacBook in tow.

Looks like they might have missed the memory core. Not that familiar with Macbooks though.

These Israeli border guards obviously don't know how to play FPS-games.

I can't help but wonder what brought about the incident.
Never been there. Never going there.
