D, R (reporting)

Bethlehem - Checkpoint 300, 6:45 am: most everyone has already passed through the CP.  Three checking stations are open with lines of ten to fifteen people each.  The checking goes very fast, about 6 seconds for each person. A woman tells us that only one machine for checking bags is open.  By 7:10am everyone has gone through the CP.  One man asks us to help his brother to receive a permit.  We give him Sylvia's phone number.
