Amazingly, first time for me.

I'm printing my boarding passes in advance on the TLV-EWR route - Verify US Passport is emblazed on the boarding pass.

This time because I'm BF with confirmed seating and I'm arriving later in the day (i.e. closer to boarding time) than usual.

So at TLV station can you bypass Checkin counter (obviously after 1st level security) and go directly to second level screening with Boarding Pass that say "Verify US Passport".

I have no baggage to check and only 1 carryon.

Wondering anyone else's experience on this.
