El Al had a short term experiment, in TLV only, where it used scanners instead of interviews for a number of passengers. Now it uses those scanners, in addition to interviews, for passengers it considers particularly questionable.

The domestic Israeli airline, Arkia, had a frequent flyer program which exempted you from the interviews -- but you had to have a short background investigation to qualify.

As of this week, even its frequent flyers have to be interviewed.
