None of them had any trouble as far as I know.  I'd love to go again, as soon as I can afford it again.

Judging by your last name and the origin of your flight, however, I
don't think you were considered much of a threat in Israel. Were any
of your party of Islamic descent or did any of them look the part?

I recall returning to the US from Tijuana, Mexico several years ago
(9/11). None of our party looked even remotely Mexican and we were
pretty much waved through without so much as a second glance. The lady
in line behind us, however, was not as lucky. I could hear the
questions starting as we walked away.
