Exactly. The Tel-Aviv airport is deserted except at certain times when tourists are coming and going, and most of the tourists and other business people do not come into Israel on El-Al.
We noticed Israeli security folks digging through the bags of American non-Hasidic Jews and were surprised by it, especially when they didn't look through the bags of over half the pasty-faced white couples who went on our tour.
Six of the world's ten busiest airports by passenger [2005] are in the US with Atlanta [86 million] and O'Hare [77 million] leading the pack. Heathrow is third with 68 million followed by Tokyo [63 million], LA [61 million], and Dallas [59 million].
I have flown El Al into Tel Aviv and was impressed with the security screening, but there is no way we can replicate it given our passenger volume.
