Coming into TLV, expect little to no questioning beyond the usual customs procedure (European style, not US/Canada style).

Leaving, expect the full TLV security procedures you've read about. For clarity, the previous poster's mention of "scary countries" refers to any country with a remotely Muslim presence, however moderate that country may be. India was a notable exception in my case. I would expect the fact that you're flying to IST to draw some added scrutiny, though I have no actual data to back this up beyond the fact that Turkey is a Muslim country.

If you're determined to be of no risk, you will get to fly with all the liquids you can carry. If you're flagged as questionable, you'll be deprived of any carry-on liquid (including solid deodorants) above 50ml. Eye contact helps during questioning.
