No, it wasn't the airplanes that were scheduled, it was the person traveling. According to the military instruction manuals governing travel of US Navy personnel overseas, it was required for the person traveling to be there 6 to 8 hours ahead of time, as well as they had a butt ton of paperwork that they had to have with them. Scheduling someone to go through Tel Aviv was always a pain in the ass to do, as not only was there paperwork that had to be prepared for them to have with them, but there were also several messages that had to be sent from the ship to various places for scheduling. Most of the time the CO would check to see if we could send them out via another place like Sigonella as it was such a hassle through Tel Aviv. And the dog sniffing and questioning was just a part of what it took to send personnel via Tel Aviv. Like I said, there were messages that had to be sent, paperwork that had to be prepared, as well as scheduling that had to be done. And, if the paperwork didn't match what had been sent prior via message, the person traveling (as well as the personnel office that prepared the paperwork) were in for a whole lot of headache, with a very likely ass chewing thrown in.
