Katie,
You look too innocent ;)
Jerry's hand luggage was hand-searched throughout and his two USB
rechargeable power hubs were confiscated.

Btw, make sure you have something with you with
the logo of the
conference,
to prove you attended it.
+1. I had the feeling Timo and I had an easier time at TLV because I
wore the Wikimania 2011 t-shirt. One security person recognized it
immediately, another asked which conference we'd attended and I could
just point to my chest and say 'that one'.
Short of the t-shirt, the lanyard helps too, of course.
I used my Wikimania bag as a carry on item with the logo clearly
visible.
No one asked me any questions whatsoever at TLV. They just stamped my
passport!
Nor did anyone scrutinize or care about any of my electronic items
(GPS, laptop, ...) or ask me to turn them on. They just put them
through x-Ray and swab tested stuff. They also didn't care about my
Arabic language reading materials that I take on the plane. :)
