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. :)
