Quote:
A US Airways passenger plane was diverted to Philadelphia on Thursday
after a religious item worn by a Jewish passenger was mistaken as a
bomb, Philadelphia police said.

A passenger was alarmed by the phylacteries, religious items which
observant Jews strap around their arms and heads as part of morning
prayers, on the flight from New York's La Guardia airport heading to
Louisville.

Phylacteries, called tefillin in Hebrew, are two small black boxes
with black straps attached to them. Observant Jewish men are required
to place one box on their head and tie the other one on their arm each
weekday morning.

What with this and the new underpants security checks, flying is
getting really tedious.
