My girlfriend and I both fly from SFO to EWR and then connect to the TLV flight.
In my experience:
- At SFO, the check-in process is identical to the one for a flight to any other international destination. I've only gotten SSSS once.
- After you get to EWR, however, they subject you to additional security checks at the gate. Had you began your trip at EWR, they would have completed most of these checks at the ticket counter, but they do them at the gate for connecting passengers. So, don't head to the gate at the last possible minute.
