Plane diverted by tefillin

I feel better knowing they’re all being kept in line via an aggressive program of unpredictable, misguided harassment.

So good to see you defending religious practices mantori! (guess as long as it’s not Christianity, it’s fine by you, huh? ;))

For the record, as one poster mentioned earlier that nobody would be ‘weirded out’ if somebody pulled out rosary beads on a plane, I have never ever in many years of air travel seen anyone do this in an airplane or airport. If someone knelt down and started praying the rosary, I would definitely think that was ‘odd’ or ‘weird’ and I’m Catholic.

People traveling by public conveyance have to understand that just now people are very, very nervous. You have to know that laying out your prayer rug, strapping on teffillin, or kneeling down with your rosary is going to cause people to freak out and say “do they know something I don’t know and should I be worried?”

(I tried to find an image of the nun from “Airplane” singing sock-it-to-me, sock-it-to-me, but had no luck)
