PS. For those of you who have yet to fly out of Israel: it's a good idea to have a password / Android lock etc. on each of your electronic devices, so that they can't check their content except in front of you.
Probably already to late, but since it might be relevant for next years Wikimania as well: One way to protect data is to create a hidden truecrypt volume. That means that inside of an encrypted partition – which contains some harmless stuff one would want to hide (softporn or whatever seems plausible) – there is another encrypted partition with the real data.
When an airport security officer demands you decrypt your encrypted partition, you just use the password of the harmless partition and thus protect your real data.

However, it's even safer not to bring any laptop/data with you ;-)
