Warning: Jews may explode in flight
16 years ago
Wow, just wow [links to BBC].
A plane was diverted to an emergency landing because one of the passengers was an Orthodox Jew who decided to put on t'filin, sometimes also referred to in English as phylacteries. Fellow passengers became confused and declared him a security threat.

SOUNDS LIKE A RECIPE FOR A STAMPEDE TO ME
I would get scared if somebody got up and started
preaching or doing a holy dance on the plane.
Get real. Either pray before or pray quietly.
God has his exortations about trying to SEEM Godly.
I dont care who it is. With all the stuff going

and get into overt religious activiy.
That would scare my mule altogether. I would hurry
up and get away from that person.
I don't even know what "scare my mule" means.

They're opened for professional scriptorial inspection, but the thing is, a person who knows how to check the parchment for defects also has the heavy-duty sewing tools for closing it back up.
