Any extra screening for IST-TLV flights? I booked a 1hr (60min) connection USA-IST-TLV, hand luggage only. I know I am arriving from a 'clean' country (USA), and won't stop at lounge (as much as I want baklava and kebabs!). But do IST-TLV gates have extra screening, like they do in, e.g., FRA? Trying to figure out if my connection is doable. There is another TLV flight a few hours later, so I don't imagine the risks are high.
