It was a New York-to-Kentucky flight -- in other words, this Jewish kid was getting on the plane at a New York-area airport. I find it extremely hard to believe that a flight crew hadn't previously encountered a religious Jew on flights out of one of those airports. Every time I'm in and out of there, the plane is completely Jewlicious.

And another thing, last I checked the crazed religious Jewish terror risk is and has been quite small. Nonexistent, really. I know it's not politically-correct to say it, but these aircrews need to be on the lookout for Mohammedans, not Jews.
