I'm wish you. The agents at TLV are very good at what they do. They approach with a disarming demeanor and explain things simply. Even my crazy want to be Massad agent Mother doesn't freak out with them. They will ask what they determine is needed to make sure you're not a threat but they ask in such a manner not to entice a negative situation....something the TSA needs lessons in immediately. After going through TLV Europe is nothing and US TSA are just disrespectful. *Generalization*

I have mixed views on this one. I've been grilled by Israeli security at TLV while departing with a Saudi visa in my passport. It was done very respectfully, and I understood the need for security. After that, the WTMD and X-ray for my bag were super easy. However, this is conditioned on well-trained agents doing the questioning in a professional manner. I don't have confidence that the TSA can carry things out in that manner, and there is a bit of an issue of whether it's even constitutional in the US.
