Imho this is better then - Taking off shoes - Going through scanner-of-the-day - Can't take any liquids on the plane. And same procedure applies also to Isr

  Hmm.. Hope you didn't take offense with what I wrote. I see no personal insult anywhere in that text and certainly didn't intend any. That said: - I had to remove my shoes at the Ben Gurion airport. Granted, only once so far - Agreed (scanner) - Braindead liquid rules still apply (maybe softened vs. the US? I cannot judge that) And while Israelis have to do the same thing: If I travel with a coworker (we usually arrive separately) they pass all tests right away and have a couple of shortcuts (especially concerning passport control, inbound, for example). My experience with tourists, visitors and my own trips says that - well - foreigners start on the 'Might be a terrorist' scale at 3 out of 10, just because.

    No offense. >- Braindead liquid rules still apply (maybe softened vs. the US? I cannot judge that) I guess that it might apply more then usually when you fly to US. Flies to Europe/within Israel ok. You can buy whatever you want after security check and bring it with you. Passport control shortcut, you probably mean electronic system. There is one like this in US for US citizens that I can't use :( And yes, foreigners start with "Might be..." but usually it never goes beyond questions. "Luggage scan pass" Israeli might get only if they (scanners) are too loaded. In case line is short everybody goes through it. And Israelis can move to "might be" quickly in case they give "bad" answer. I once couldn't answer how old I am (I never know) and was questioned for 40minutes.
