Alex,
I’ve gone through Israeli security at airports. It’s hardcore. They ask some very unusual questions and can gauge your answer and whether they think you are lying. That’s what they did with that lady. It’s behavioural and ethnic profiling.

Trust me, being asked where you are staying in Israel, how long, why you are going, any other country you are going to, what do you do for a living, what are your parents’ names, do you know anyone in Israel or any other Middle Eastern country is fairly disconcerting, but it gets the job done.
