In 1973 I was getting on a plane at Lod airport. The security guy looked at my passport and says "I see you visit mostly Eastern European countries. Why is that?" I said I'm studying Slavic languages, particularly Russian literature." The guy, who was my age, switches to Russian and as he's going thru my baggage says "Why don't you tell me a little about the character development of Parfen Rogozhin in Dostoevky's The Idiot." Surprised, I started doing my usual "I'm not prepared for this" analysis of the character development. He finished my luggage and says "OK, you can get on the plane but I suggest you read your Dostoevsky a little more carefully."

Also serving another Glass Wine when theres still one, ismaybe a bit much, but maybe they are different ones, like a dry and a sweet Wine.

About 20 years ago, my mother flew El Al from London to Israel. She was a wine buyer at the time. She remembers that El Al had no trouble with her carrying her corkscrew onto the plane. When she flew from the states to London, TSA had confiscated it from her and sent it through baggage. She asked El Al's security person why it was allowed. She says they told her their security check showed her to be a wine buyer and that she had held that job since retiring from being a school teacher 12 years earlier. They did not think that a wine buyer carrying a corkscrew was anything that threatened security. So El Al might have the toughest security, but they are, also, realists.

Interesting observation you made about the anti-missile measures installed on the plane.

Luckily the missiles missed their target, but since then the lesson was learned and the planes were armed with this system.

In my El Al interview (back in the 747 times) I was asked when I had arrived in Boston (our departure airport). I said I had flown in from Atlanta the day before, and spent the night in Boston. "Where in Boston did you stay?" they inquired. "An apartment very near here," I replied (it had been an Airbnb, although I failed to mention that.) "And whose apartment was it?" "Um. . .Tom's!" I answered, relieved that I was able to recall the Host's name, given how nervous I was by then. "And what was 'Tom's' *last* name?" they asked. "I don't know," I admitted, "but. . . I can look it up?!" "You spent the night at his apartment, yet you don't know *his last name* ??!!" 🥴🤔😬 I still laugh about that. What kind of tramp was I, anyway?!

[@peterli6138]

I flew with El Al in Feb 2019, HKG - TLV, also on J Class, 787. While I didn't get the VIP treatment like Josh, I knew I was travelling ULTRA safe because the Sky Marshal was located directly behind me. How did I know? a) before the flight took off I saw him walked into the cockpit freely, and b) he stayed up during the entire flight, playing with his smartphone and making notes while the rest of the J Class pax slept 😂

[@hansmeyer3900]

Great Video, Great Crew - Aviation indeed brings people together! Regarding the laser attack on the plane, we once had a pilot who was seriously blinded for a couple of seconds when descending into Cairo airport. He passed on controls to the captain for the final approach just to be on the safe side. These lasers are nasty and a real hazard!

[@fredricgrethel1717]

In 2004 I flew El Al from LA to Toronto since it was the cheapest flight. I lined up to check in and Israeli in suit approached me and asked me where I was heading to and checked my passport. Here is where it got crazy. El Al had own x-ray machine next to counter for check-in luggage. After running it twice, I was escorted to a room behind where I was personally searched and awaited until boarding announced. I am a Korean, and all non-Israeli passengers were treated the same way. I was accompanied by old Chinese couple and a black gentleman. When boarding was announced a lady came by, and we all followed her to the gate, where we met Israeli passengers. Then, we got on a bus, escorted by 4 LAPD petrol cars in a 2-2 square formation and boarded the plane that was parked some distances away. The airplane was guarded by a few guys in orange vests with Hebrew written on back. Boarded it and as we walked pass other passengers, they gave us unwelcoming glances. Once we took off, all went crazy. People were walking around and talking aloud. It was one of the weirdest and craziest experiences I will never forget until today. But gotta to tell you, it was the safest flight.
