I don't suggest taking the train from Jerusalem to the airport - it takes a very long time - the train to Jerusalem is very slow and is more of a tourist attraction than anything else.

It's much, much easier to call a sherut taxi called Nesher which will pick you up from home/hotel and take you to the airport for NIS 58. No security process involved....

In addition to the previous mails, I'd recommend who plans railway
trip to arrive your departure station enough earlier than your train,
specially if you are in Jerusalem or perhaps a place easy-to-reach
from the West Bank.

Security check at Malha Jerusalem Station would be as serious as at
the airport. Though they keep being polite but the check on me took
over 10 minutes. I was asked by two officers respectively to show them
my passport, open every bag, what I bought in the Old City, and then
again explain what almost each item in the bags was, and which places
I had visited during my ongoing trip, specially in the West Bank,
which Arab countries I had visited both in this particular trip and in
the past and finally if I carried weapons. Finally they had me go
through with smiles and best wishes on trip, so generally there was no
problem at all, but if my schedule had been tight, it might have
caused problems.
