Bethlehem, Fri 20.2.09, Morning

9:00 - 10:15 AM, Bethlehem Checkpoint:  three windows are open but most of the  time only one is active since there are hardly any people.

I did not observe any failure of the apparatus for examination of fingerprints.

I did not see anybody who was sent back.

At 10:15 the person responsible for cleanliness decided to open the back door that is always closed and brought in a waterhose in order to clean the place, although it was clean and the air was freezing. No one was seen in the distance and I left.
