"We have a hundred buses already positioned at Ben Gurion Airport", the Israel Police Spokesman told reporters as he pointed at the buses, "and a YASAM force ready to keep the airport open," pointing at thirty members of Israel Police's elite YASAM unit dressed in their black uniforms with their famous no-nonsense gaze.
"We have so many other security challenges on the plate today, what with the operation in Jenin, that this is the force we can spare. So our force will have to be extremely efficient.
"We are going to follow some simple rules: step off the sidewalk and you are in a bus.
"Do anything - and I mean anything - inside the terminal and you are in a bus.
"No discussion. No second chance. Nothing.
"We have cameras positioned everywhere to document the scene so it will be relatively easy to match up this documentation with each corresponding busload of detainees.
"Each time a bus is full it will drive to the processing center we have set up. There is a staff of five officials already positioned at the processing center to process the detainees.
"We have put our cards on the table. Don't test us."
But-
"D E M O C R A T I Y A" shouted the Kaplan dictators.
"We have the right to block any road we want to.
"We have the right to close down the airport and block the ports.
"We have the right to interfere with any public and private event in the country.
"No one can stop us.
"We are D E M O C R A T I Y A .
"It doesn't matter who is hurt by our action. Our cause is of overarching importance and what ever we decide goes.
We know best.
"We don't have to waste our time coming up with novel ways to get our message across.
"Because we are D E M O C R A T I Y A ."
And then it started.
The Kaplan dictators weren't deterred because they thought it was just a bluff.
It took 15 busloads - almost 750 detainees - before the remaining Kaplan dictators left the scene.
Yes, some of the Kaplan dictators moved on to try and block roads elsewhere. But each time, the Kaplan dictators found that instead of being, at most, pulled off the road, they were detained and sent away for processing.
As the day progressed some of the detained Kaplan dictators complained on live interviews via their mobile phones: "I am here in the processing center already for hours waiting to be released. I have places to go and things to do. How can it be in a properly run country that my valuable time and plans are being interfered with by these processing delays. D E M O C R A T I Y A."

Of course this didn't happen.
Yes, the police have in fact used buses in the way I described in the past. But that was against protestors from the national camp.
Yesterday the police let things go out of control for hours at the airport.
Under normal circumstances literally every person approaching a Terminal 3 door gets a look over. People are stopped and checked out at the slightest suspicion.
The waves of Kaplan dictators forcing their way into Terminal 3 made this impossible.
And many of the Kaplan dictators were carrying props.
We are lucky that a team of terrorists didn't take advantage of the complete and total breakdown of security at Terminal 3.
