If I recall correctly, the following types of questions were asked when I last flew to Israel:

Why are you going to Israel? If business, what is the nature of your business? If holiday, why did you choose Israel for a holiday?
What is your job?
How did you pay for this trip?
Are you traveling alone or with someone? Why are you traveling alone or who is this person you are traveling with and how long have you known them?
Where will you be staying? Show me your hotel reservation.
How long will you be staying in Israel?
Have you ever been to Israel before? When? For what purpose?
When are you leaving Israel? Show me your return ticket/itinerary?

Can you imagine going through this type of questioning when flying from say MLB to ATL, every single time?

Does the education/training level of the TSA support evaluating the answers to these types of question? Doubt it. I bet most TSA employees wouldn't be able to pass a basic geography test.

This scares me......a lot.
