Katie, You look too innocent ;) Jerry's hand luggage was hand-searched throughout and his two USB rechargeable power hubs were confiscated. Deryck On Aug 10, 2011 7:51 AM, "aude" aude.wiki@gmail.com wrote:

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. :)
