A Jewish teenager, attempting to say his morning prayers, caused a terrorism alert on a US Airways airplane Thursday.
The plane had left New York and was going to Kentucky. Instead, it was redirected to Philadelphia, grounded, and surrounded by local and federal authorities, including dogs sniffing for bombs.
The boy had taken out his tefillin, as is stated in the Jewish Torah that every male thirteen and over is supposed to do daily as part of his prayer time.
