Note: in April 2013 a news story was published indicating that Israeli airport security staff are able to read tourists' email, citing Tel Aviv Ben Gurion Airport as an example. While rarely done, and probably even rarer at other airports, they apparently have the authority to do so. IHateTaxis has no additional insight or advice on this matter, and is sharing this information strictly as a courtesy for our site visitors.
