I have also heard of people getting pieces of paper stamped in Tel Aviv and other hostile areas instead of their passport for less hassle later on.

As for the security question's you will find the staff that ask these are not El Al staff but Israel security forces (think it is Mossat or something like that). I copped one hell of a grilling last time I left Israel (flying BA) because the taxi driver who drove me from Jerusalem was an Arab. This was at the security gate to the airport, then copped another grilling by the staff at the bag check area inside the airport about what I had done whilst in Israel and when I told them where I stayed in the Arab part of Jerusalem (The American Colony) the questions got bizzar to the point of stupidity and paranoia. Israel is one place I would rather not go to, but sadly I must go there at least once every year or so. As to why El Al doesn't fly to Aus, guess the answer is there is not enough business to justify it, like many carriers from Europe they can quite happily connect through passengers with other airlines such as Qantas, Singapore, Thai etc for the last leg. |

They did look at it
As I understand it at one stage it was seriously considered but they failed to make agreement with the Aust. GVT.
The staff are specially trained for this type of security work. Who they work for is probably academic but the airline is now a private company. Quote:
The grilling is worth it to avoid the consequences of lax security. |
