1. Israel and Privacy Law - Is this a joke?
(11.18.13)
What about my privacy when I enter a mall and am asked to open my bag? What about the personel in BGA asking me private questions (really private ones) and going through my mails and telephone without my permission? What about the same personel looking at my photographs? What about my friends and family coming to visit me in Israel being asked very private questions upon arrival? Are you talking about this kind of privacy - or privacy is just valuable for religious persons?
2. This woman is Really Bored.

3. Good, but perhaps the same law could allow
Israeli 2   (11.19.13)
certain other mikvehs to question and check the users if they are indeed kosher for immersion. Not questions whether they are married or not or how many children she has...etc. Perhaps not only the rabbi demands it but the entire community.

All the things you mentioned are security questions. If the mikveh attendant suspects that you are hiding a grenade under your towel and asks questions about that, it is reasonable. But that is not the type of question referfed to in this article.
5. Law for Mikveh?
Nili ,   Jerusalem   (11.19.13)
Seriously? This is a religious ritual! Those who don't like it don't have to go~or better yet, build your own non-kosher site. I'm fed up with those who don't believe in Torah law dictating to those that do. You want equal rights, but only for yourselves!
6. ritual baths
Chava ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (11.19.13)
nobody ever asked me any personal or intimate questions. i've gone to various ritual bath houses in Israel and overseas. Such questions are never asked - people should stop lying!
7. #4 - Oh really? Security questions hey?
(11.19.13)
Requested to hand over my CLALIT membership card to EL AL personel is part of a securtiy check??
