He had to do that on the flight? How about a rule where people can pray unobtrusively as much as they want, but rituals, etc. are banned on flights. Is that too drastic?
I don’t understand this, really. I’ve flown to NY and Philly and have frequently seen Orthadox Jews praying in the departure lounge, etc. *shrugs*
Flying out of La Guardia, and the pilot had never heard of phylacteries? Hm. Maybe he’s from Iowa or something.

Maybe not a good idea to cross myself on the plane?
kid should have known better, sad but this is what
we have come to. I can’t fault the captain on this one.
Eventually the Muzterrs will resort to protective
coloration, even as an infidel or hated jew, it’s
authorized in their indoctrination.
Maybe the pilot was establishing his PC credentials for the next time he has to bounce some shouting imam off the flight.
Hysteria and panic do not protect people, and that’s what this was. Leather straps and leather boxes are not fuses and little bombs. Major drop out of common sense in this case.
Wait until the Snakehandlers start busting out their props.
When it comes to prayer, I’ll take Jesus’ direction from the Sermon on the Mount....
“And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. 6But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. 7And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. 8Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.”
I thought flight crews weren’t supposed to freak out?
I thought flight crews were supposed to have judgment?
How about the most BASIC knowledge of the religion that flies planes into buildings and blows up aircraft?
You can’t tell a jihadi from a Jew?
Please note the difference between Muslim passengers

There's a quiz tomorrow, so please study hard.
