I don't suggest taking the train from Jerusalem to the airport - it takes a very long time - the train to Jerusalem is very slow and is more of a tourist attraction than anything else.
It's much, much easier to call a sherut taxi called Nesher which will pick you up from home/hotel and take you to the airport for NIS 58. No security process involved....

In addition to the previous mails, I'd recommend who plans railway trip to arrive your departure station enough earlier than your train, specially if you are in Jerusalem or perhaps a place easy-to-reach from the West Bank.
Security check at Malha Jerusalem Station would be as serious as at the airport. Though they keep being polite but the check on me took over 10 minutes. I was asked by two officers respectively to show them my passport, open every bag, what I bought in the Old City, and then again explain what almost each item in the bags was, and which places I had visited during my ongoing trip, specially in the West Bank, which Arab countries I had visited both in this particular trip and in the past and finally if I carried weapons. Finally they had me go through with smiles and best wishes on trip, so generally there was no problem at all, but if my schedule had been tight, it might have caused problems.

PS: I didn't find them very good-looking either, like someone claimed.
Uh? :-? By the way I agree, but looking at some of the lots of the trainees the situation might improve in the future. :-p
Oh, and I forgot to say that one of them was also even drawing (smilies etc.) together with a traveler on her to-be-embarked laptop box. Perhaps she had enough books for her next layover.
