I hadn't even got out of my seat before meeting the reception committee.
When the Trident came to a halt on the ramp at TLV, the cabin crew asked everyone to remain seated. A couple of swarthy guys carrying Uzis came on board and walked up and down the aisle before coming to a halt beside me and a mate (both travelling on ID90s). We were invited to accompany them down the steps, where we were duly frisked and given the third-degree about our intentions in Israel. Finally, we were wished a pleasant stay and sent on our way.
