Show Notes
Step inside the Fattal Terminal at Ben Gurion Airport, a separate physical reality where the ultra-wealthy and politically powerful "secede" from the public travel experience. This episode explores the mechanics of this high-priced erasure—from private security suites to tarmac Mercedes rides—and asks what happens to public infrastructure when those with the most influence simply opt out of using it. We dive into the staggering costs of these services and the philosophical implications of a privatized border in an increasingly stratified world.
