A Jewish teen trying to pray on a New York-to-Kentucky flight caused a scare when he pulled out a set of small boxes containing holy scrolls, leading the captain to divert the flight to Philadelphia, where the commuter plane was greeted by police, bomb-sniffing dogs and federal agents.

I guess it’s better to be so scared and paranoid that you can’t act normal….or not.
I think it’s great that we’re keeping the American public in a permanent state of paranoia. What could possibly go wrong?
Has a Jew ever hijacked a plane? It seems that political correctness continues to rage out of control.
Is it PC or just ignorance? Do people not know the difference in Jewish prayer boxes and say someone digging in their underwear for white powder?
As a general rule, I think that you should never rule out ignorance.
Truth!
What is the difference between PC and ignorance?
I’ll say nothing!
Come on folks, seriously, who can blame the passengers, cabin crew and pilots, following all of the recent attempted airline bombings by Jews….no wait, I think I might have got that a bit wrong.
Hold on, I know what caused this, phylacteries look just like incendiary devices, it’s obvious now I think of it
What scares me is the number of comments I’ve seen in other places defending the crew and passengers.
Ugh! You know, the reason that vigilenty justice is outlawed is because people do stupid things regarding such events. Yes, what happened on Christmas day and on 9/11 – those people were heroes, but now, everyone will be a bit jumpy and jumpy people might do stupid things.
