If it’s a Jewish robot, is it programmed to kvetch?
No, no no… That’s what the Polish Jew taught his dog to do…! 
Good thing it wasn’t a bag of sauerkraut, or the stench would have made it necessary to evacuate the entire terminal.

I think I have that luggage.
Apparently they also use lasers and something called a “pigstick” which basically shoots an explosive propelled jet of water. The objective is to blow the shit out of the electronics, not detonate the explosive. A rifle bullet would not do enough damage across as wide an area as a shotgun blast or high speed jet of water.
Robots can’t pick up a whole lot and the device may be booby trapped, unstable or otherwise unsafe to move. And the device may not be in a spot where it is practical to blast away at it with a rifle from 200 yards (like inside an airport or on a city street).
Wait. Have we established that she’s a “protest tourist”? Good thing she wasn’t a scientist with tons of irreplaceable data on that Mac, I guess.
Not sure I’d trust a scientist’s data if they weren’t thorough enough to back it up.
I can’t watch videos on this computer. Does the robot use a shotgun, which is likely to put a projectile through any part of the computer/bomb, or does it use a 9mm, which only destroys what in its path and its environs and, per the photo of the dead laptop, can’t even penetrate the shell of a cheesy modern laptop?
The video brings up the point, did they shoot the laptop or shoot the luggage that contained the laptop? If they believed there may have been explosives in the luggage it makes more sense.
Not really. You don’t shoot a bomb with a firearm if you don’t know what type of bomb it is.
Further, you don’t shoot a bomb with a firearm.
Well, they thought they did. 
That’s because that’s what the alien mothership uses.

Macbook Pro always hated me
For what, I don’t know:
Everytime I boot up EyeTV,
It crash into hard lock freeze –
Yeah bomb box is all I see
And so:
…
“Ohhh, big man doesn’t want to talk, huh? Well, you better start singing before I tear out your Pentium processor with my bare hands…I’ve done it before, don’t think I wont do it again. Oh yeah, I’m gonna enjoy kicking the living chips out of you, buddy.”
For example, what if it had been a gas bomb? Shooting a pressurized container of poison doesn’t strike me as a clever thing to do.
I thought Israel was supposed to be on the ball for things like this. Seems like such a dumb thing to do, you’d expect to hear this out of Sri Lanka or one of the sillier-sounding African countries.
Good to see that members of the “Israeli Authorities can do no wrong in any situation ever” brigade are on the case here. I was worried for a second.
