We whizzed through security, both coming and going, without a hitch. ^ No one looked at our bags or asked us many questions. I think the only questions we were asked were on the way out, where they asked:

Q. Why did you come to Isreal?

A. To visit our friend.

Q. What' his name?

A. Dov Ben Galil

Q. Where did you meet him.

A. Venice.

Q. Do you speak any Hebrew?

A. Only Shalom.

Thank you very much. You may go get your bags on the other side of the machine.
Knowing EL Al I take this simplicity to mean they had already done an extensive background check on you!!!! They dont let anyone through on three questions that they have not already checked out.
