This must have been horrible.
There must have been a way for the crew to check with ground security to ascertain that Tfillin are safe and legitimate. The fact that they didn't is worrisome.

But I must admit, that as someone who never saw Tfillin when growing up, it can look peculiar.

Do they make the Muslim women in veils/burkas etc strip?
