...subject of a much milder form of it, every time I flew out of Ben Gurion. Security officials, plainly, are charged with determining whether fliers are Jewish are not. My name could go either way. The Israelis know it's rude by Western standards to come right out and ask, so they have a set of questions meant to settle the matter: Do you have family here in Israel?
