Israel: No iPads Allowed, At Least for Now

Don’t take your Apple iPad if traveling to Israel. The Israeli Communications Ministry has banned them and ordered customs agents to confiscate them from overseas passengers, where the device presumably would be held until departure. The reason is the U.S. version operates at a higher WiFi strength than the Israeli or European standard, and Israeli officials are concerned that iPads could interfere with other wireless devices. The European version of the iPad, due for release May 10, will be permitted in Israel.
