David Yeagley is the great-great-grandson of Comanche leader Bad Eagle. 
In a show of incredible ignorance, or stupidity, or just plain visceral anti-semitic prejudice, the flight personnel of US Airways flight 3079 singled out a young 17-year-old Jewish boy as a bomb threat, for wearing his standard prayer equipment, the phylacteries, or, the teffilin. The TSA (Transportation Safety Administration) rendered its blessing on the unthinkable act.
From mobius1ski’s photostream: A young
Jewish man prays, with a phylactery, at an
Israeli security wall.
The phylacteries, or teffilin are ancient religious paraphernalia universally known–to anyone who knows anything about Judaism. Like, who doesn’t, especially when you’re hired to examine everyone’s personal belongings the world over? Furthermore, if it were an obviously suspicious device, why would the boy be wearing it on his forehead? The phylacteries contain tiny rolls of the Hebrew scriptures, that’s all. The custom is derived from Moses (Deuteronomy 6:8; 11:18), and the command to keep the scriptures in close consciousness at all times.
Of course the boy would be wearing the basic yarmulka (skull cap) that ever so typical of religious Jews. That a professional flight attendent and crew did not recognize the boy as Jewish is rather unthinkable and actually ridiculous. That they would think such a Jewish person was a suicide mass murderer, like a Muslim, is the most outrageous, lying pretense of the 21st century. It surpasses anything coming out of Barry Soetoro’s administration.
The missing element in the story, of course, is the attendent (female) who initially abused the boy by singled him out. What is her race, ethnicity, national origin, and religion? This is the vital information in the story. Naturally, it is kept from us. Observe this AP video clip:
Prayer confusion diverts flight to Philly
The member of the flight crew was female. Notice, too, the unidentified officer (pilot or TSA official) reports that the boy was wearing was is known as a “olfactory.” Well, that’s pretty close to phylactery, isn’t it? Oy veh! Indeed.
But, again, there is no excuse for this, really. Airlines hire foreigners constantly, because flights are all over the world. But, this was a domestic flight, from New York to Louisville. No one ever saw a orthodox Jewish prayer get up? No one ever saw a Jewish skull cap? No one else on the plane was Jewish?
It is abundantly clear that the design of airport security is to protect and honor the Arabic, Middle Eastern Muslim, especially the terrorist and his rights, and to denigrate and humiliate everyone else, particularly white Americans, and especially the Jew. Above all, the Jew. It’s finally come out now. That’s what this is about–the Muslim’s Satanic hatred of the Jew. It is infectious, and the entire “American” TSA and flight crew of US Airway have played party to the Muslim hatred. This is where we stand.
If I were Jewish, I believe I’d sue. The TSA and American flight crews learned very quickly all things Muslim, didn’t they? They provide every conceivable convenience and protection for the Muslim–especially the radical, terrorist type. But, the epitome of Jewish faith, the prayer things, the scriptures–are anathema.
So let it be written. 2010. America.

I share your thoughts but I cannot believe anyone would want their child to have to go through a porn scanner so that Kevin Jennings and Scott Ritter can get their jollies.
2 David Yeagley // Jan 21, 2010 at 10:42 pm
Ha!
Well, putting the dots together, I come up with the distinct image that the American government is Islamic. Liberalism is Islamic. The American legal system is Islamic.
In the end, it’s against the Jew. Not for the Jew. That’s a superficial illusion, no matter hope deep it may seem.
geronl, don’t give the Muslim murderers more ideas. They’ll have children on the planes…

The authorities acted properly. The average person is not going to see such a thing very often, if ever.
If I saw a person on an airliner strapping that box to his head after take off, I can assure you I’d take action and it would be physical.
Why didn’t he conduct his morning prayer ritual at home before entering a shared public environment that has most people on edge and fearful of things out of the ordinary? There is such a thing as being respectful and cognisant of the environment shared with your neighbor.
If a Muslim got on his knees in the isle or seat of an in flight jet liner facing Mecca, would the passengers have a right to a reasonable expectation of fear?
4 David Yeagley // Jan 22, 2010 at 9:33 am
Ranbaxy, I think the point is that professionals are supposed to be aware of things like this. They sure have been made aware of all Muslimisms–which they rather protect and coddle.
Furthermore, no passengers complained, or so goes the story. The flight’s coming out of NY, not Yemen.
Are you saying one can’t pray in public? On a plane–where fear is generally heightened, and prayer is more than appropriate? Remember, only Muslims pray for death. Jews pray for life.
Should priests be made to take off all their trinketry before they go on board? Why, who knows what explosives they hide in holy water, vestments, and collars.
I see no excuse in the flight attendents reaction to this. Was she a Muslim? Was she an Arab or a Pakistani? Was she a Puerto Rican? Was she a Hindu? Was she a Bosnian? This is the vital information in the story. It is lacking.

“I see no excuse in the flight attendents reaction to this. Was she a Muslim? Was she an Arab or a Pakistani? Was she a Puerto Rican? Was she a Hindu? Was she a Bosnian? This is the vital information in the story. It is lacking.”
I agree. Seriously, this phylactry would have passed inspections! Even if one flight attendant were confused and thought this person was an Arab terrorist, the young man’s explanation should have been enough to calm her fears. Why would anyone not believe him if he simply said, “I’m Jewish, and I wear this when I pray”?
Are we now to assume that airlines are fearful that Muslims dress up as Jews and hide explosives in Jewish garb?
Things are getting to the point that the only safe way to fly will be achieved when all passengers are obliged to travel in their underwear while onboard planes!
6 David Yeagley // Jan 22, 2010 at 10:38 am
The safe thing to do is ban all Muslims from flight. Ban Islam from the free world. Send all Muslims back to their home countries, and put an international travel ban on them, for a decade. That’s the safe thing to do.
But, that’s never going to happen. It is more important to denigrate the white race, and again, the supreme goal is to destory the Jews. I really believe that’s what this is all about.
7 Thrasymachus // Jan 22, 2010 at 11:03 am
“The safe thing to do is ban all Muslims from flight. Ban Islam from the free world. Send all Muslims back to their home countries, and put an international travel ban on them, for a decade. That’s the safe thing to do.”
Islam, at the core, is a religion of the sword, of conquest–yes, of world conquest. That is its goal. All the world must submit to Allah. Yet Liberals seem unable to understand this, or are, to be more precise, on account of liberal ideology, unwilling to acknowledge it.
Liberals are committed to building a society through the principle of a “veil of ignorance.” Those are not my words, those are the words of liberal intellectual, John Rawls. By “veil of ignorance,” Rawls means that a liberal society is a contract made up of individuals of every possible kind and description and that a liberal social system (theoretically) purposefully ignores any personal characteristics that place a person in any identifiable category. Thus race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, and even age-group are frowned upon, since a truly liberal society is all-inclusive in such a way that each individual is (theoretically) equal in every way to every other individual.
Liberals are obsessed with the rights of the individual–this is all that really matters in liberal philosophy.
The irony of it is that, when the individual’s rights require group identity of every possible kind to be totally ignored or obliterated, the individual has no support system and ends up, ultimately, with no sustainable rights.

Hi folks, Ducky here.
Let me introduce myself. I’m Beak’s contact at GayEagle Anonymous and my job is to make sure he behaves when he comes over to post here at StormfrontLite.
Carry on, I must say Doc Yeagley is pretty darn sanguine about letting these phylacteries filled with drugs and explosives on our domestic aircraft. Pretty darn loose on security.
9 Duckys-here // Jan 22, 2010 at 3:31 pm
Why can’t I use this ID to post in your fantastic forum?
10 Ranbaxy // Jan 22, 2010 at 5:04 pm
No Doctor, the point is most attacks on the world is perpetrated by Muslim terrorists and therefore; all of the West’s defense mechanisms have been concentrated on Muslims. Because of the concentrated efforts on Muslims, it naturally spawned the concentrated efforts of so-called “civil liberty” advocates that feared a complete break down of all civil liberties if any group of people were singled out for any reason.
The fact that the entire “American” TSA and flight crew of US Airway didn’t know anything about the phylacteries or the teffilin is simply because Jewish folks are not terrorist and rightfully have gotten little attention.
Before 9/11/2001 most people knew absolutely nothing about Islam.
Finally, the point you tried to make concerning Catholic priests and their trinkets is not substantial, since Catholic Priests are aware of the following:
Matthew 6; 5 And when you pray, you shall not be as the hypocrites, that love to stand and pray in the synagogues and corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men: Amen I say to you, they have received their reward. 6 But you when you shall pray, enter into your chamber, and having shut the door, pray to your Father in secret, and your father who sees in secret will repay you. 7 And when you are praying, speak not much, as the heathens. For they think that in their much speaking they may be heard. 8 Be not therefore like them for your Father knows what is needful for you, before you ask him.
A priest on an airliner in flight would probably not make a spectacle of his faith in public.
11 David Yeagley // Jan 22, 2010 at 5:28 pm
You are mistaken. Any person with visibly religious uniform, or distinguished clothing, is making a “spectacle” of his faith in public. That’s not the issue, besides.
The issue, to me, is a professional flight attendant not knowing, not recognizing Jewish prayer clothing, and assuming it was a bomb threat.
I think the other issue is false identities posting here on BadEagle.com. I am sincere, so I assume others are. This is a liability to me.
12 beakerkin // Jan 22, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Doc
The Duck is a real person nothing fake about him.
He is your typical Marxist anti-semite.
1) The last religious Jew who hijacked a plane
( Commies are not Jews) was Isof Mandelovich who was trying to get out of the Soviet Union.
There have been no others. I could name commies who blew up planes easily.
2) The Duck has a blind spot when it comes to drug dealing by Commies. Hugo Chavez is a Superfly Marxist with his Drug pushing allies in FARC. Commies also are fond of the Black Panthers who dealt drugs and shook down pimps.
As the Dr points out any person in NYC should
have known what was going on. In a place like Northern Vermont this would be another story.
13 Ranbaxy // Jan 22, 2010 at 6:29 pm
Again, No Doctor, the issue is people in authority sounding the alarm for the good of all when confronted by something they are unfamiliar with.
Catholic priests are very familiar to the populace at large, ultra Orthodox Jews are not, and most people don’t know a thing about their morning rituals.
I would suggest that the comments section of your blog be turned off if you can’t handle an opposing view to your provocative writing, or people that use handles other than their own name.

DY says “The missing element in the story, of course, is the attendent (female) who initially abused the boy by singled him out. What is her race, ethnicity, national origin, and religion? This is the vital information in the story. Naturally, it is kept from us.”
What possible difference will this make to your rantings? So it turns out she is a Catholic born in Ohio. Who cares? So it turns out she is an athiest born in Spain. Who cares? The only issue really is whether someone wearing a small box on their head should be allowed on an airplane without scrutiny. And secondarily,
whether the rules/procedures we have come up with for assuring airplane safety reasonable. This teffilin case certainly suggests we have gone too far. But it is certainly not unique. Some time ago (before 9-11) I watched security prevent a little old lady from getting on an airplane because she had a 4″ to 5″ long crucifix around her neck (she had to put it in her checked luggage). DY would of course see this as an attack on all traditional American values, but really it was just an official, following the rules that he was hired to enforce. It wasn’t anti-white. It wasn’t anti-Catholic. It wasn’t anti woman. It wasn’t anti-white-women. It certainly wasn’t to “protect and honor the …the terrorist”. It wasn’t to “denigrate and humiliate” anyone. It was done to honor and protect the 99.999% of Arabs, and Jews, and Christians, and athiests, and anyone else, who wants to get safely from one airport to another. Have we gone to far? I tend to think so. But DY please get a hold of reality. There is no Muslim/communist/anit-white plot here.
15 John Sandusky // Jan 22, 2010 at 10:00 pm
Any one that knows anything about the airline industry knows that the flight crew of most flights do not live in the city that the flight originates from.
The odds of the flight attendant knowing about the standard prayer equipment of a particular Orthodox Jewish denomination are actually very low. But this means nothing to those that see and antisemitic in every corner.
16 beakerkin // Jan 23, 2010 at 4:30 pm
Sandusky/GMS
A flight originating in NYC should have more than enough people familiar with that item. The airline should apologize to the passengers for its stupidity.
17 Duckys-here // Jan 23, 2010 at 5:09 pm
So Beak, here’s how you do it.
You get some really p****ed off Arab and get him a Jewish identity and papers and all. One who speaks good Hebrew. Shouldn’t be hard.
Then you put him on a plane to New York and come prayer time he starts strapping on the C4. Anybody objects and he starts calling them anti-semites. Backs the suckers down in a New York minute.
Then boom. Now I’ve notified Homeland Security that the dolts at BadEagle.com have made this idea available to our enemies. Disgraceful. Start using your head, Yeagley.
18 John Sandusky // Jan 23, 2010 at 5:27 pm
Beakerin/Duckys-here
“A flight originating in NYC should have more than enough people familiar with that item. The airline should apologize to the passengers for its stupidity.”
Faulty, unrealistic, logic with regard to the human condition. The flight attendant could have easily been from Wyoming. And the very few other New York attendants that she has ever come in contact with, that knew about Orthodox Jewish rituals may have never schooled her.
Are you saying that Orthodox Jewish folks should be exempted from the personal judgement calls of the security forces in America?
Do you have any idea how much high powered plastic explosives an Islamic terrorist that looks Jewish could fit into a little box?
The demanding of an apology is exactly what the terrorists want. The demanding of an apology will set the stage for the security forces of America to second guess the inspection of any religious paraphernalia. This same kind of faulty logic was the very thing that allowed the Fort Hood terrorist to move under the radar screen for so long . . . Muslims demanding apologies to satisfy their irrational, illogical sensitivities.
I can assure you that El Al thoroughly inspects all phylacteries. And if a passenger took one out of his pocket and placed it on his head in flight, and the air marshal wasn’t absolutely convinced it was cleared . . . he or she would react physically and quickly for the common good of all.
El Al’s Secrets To Thwarting Airliner Terrorism
19 TNT // Jan 23, 2010 at 5:50 pm
Its pretty obvious that most of you never leave your hovels let alone travel by air.
Airline passengers since 9/11 have been subjected to every knee-jerk security response imaginable. We remove our shoes, bag our shampoo, we are frisked, we are wanded, we have our bodies scanned and we don’t complain (because the TSA will view you with even more suspicion!). But that’s the way things are in an airport in 2010. Most passengers have come to accept these procedures as the facts of life for air travelers.
Now most of these Orthodox Jews are just like you. They may live in Williamsburg but they might as well live in Israel. They live in their own separate communities which they rarely leave except to commute to work or travel to some other Orthodox community. Their contact with the greater population of these United States is confined to “only when necessary”.
So it’s no wonder that some teenage Hasid thinks nothing of strapping on his Teffilin and praying on a packed plane. I’m pretty sure he’s clueless to any news of underwear bombers or terrorist alerts. And I’m also pretty sure he’s used to having everyone around him know what he’s doing.
But what he doesn’t know is that most of his fellow plane travelers couldn’t tell a schmata from schmutz. In other words, this kid is flat out culturally ignorant. He grew up like a Jewish veal.
So here’s the solution: Huge signs at airline terminals declaring absolutely no religious activity of any kind allowed on any domestic US airline. I don’t need Jews dovenning, Jehovah’s Witnesses passing out Watchtowers or Muslims on prayer rugs while I’m trying to sleep on the plane. That includes the guy next to me who keeps trying to get me to listen to his Jesus spiel.
And the only reason to get up from your seat is to go to the bathroom or to try an walk your crying kid back to sleep.

The person was praying silently and in his seat.
These objects are well known to people who travel on public transportation in NYC.
The person is owed an immediate apology.
21 David Yeagley // Jan 23, 2010 at 8:50 pm
Sandusky, or, GMS, you are not welcome here. Please do not post. I will delete everything I see that you have posted from now one. Clear enough? I thought you would get the message the first time.
22 David Yeagley // Jan 23, 2010 at 8:53 pm
It seems to me that most of these responses are fundamentally anti-semitic.
Unless, that is, you want to consider a Muslims terrorist act as an act of religion, protected by the United States constitution.
It is possible that I have over-reacted, and dramatized. Obviously possible. But, the logic remains the same. The difficulties in the story are the key facts which we are denied:
1) did the boy put on the tefillin before or after flight was in progress?
2) the ethnicity, national origin, training, experience, of the woman flight attendant.
Has no Jew in the modern history ever worn the phylacteries on a plain before? (Of course they have.)
Everything, on the boy, or in his carryon, had already been checked and scanned.. Therefore, this suspicion is inexcusable. It isn’t error on the side of caution. It is religious prejudice and hysteria, with a nasty tint to it. That’s what it seems like to me, given what we DO know, as well as what we don’t.
Would it have been unthinkable for the stewardess to have kindly ask the boy about the tefillin, if she actually didn’t know? And what’s the point of “diverting” the plane? If the boy was going to blow something up, he would have blown it up!
The more I think about this story, the more ridiculous it is, even it it is not anti-semitic. It is blazoned ignorance and stupidity, from any angle you look at it.
23 beakerkin // Jan 24, 2010 at 7:41 am
Doc
Some inside information. There are spots where Jews do not interrupt their prayers. The stewardess may have tried to talk to this person and he would not respond likely until after the prayer known as the Shemonah Essray or amidah.
This is an over reaction
24 David Yeagley // Jan 24, 2010 at 2:34 pm
More detail in the story of which we are not made privy.
And people claim Jews control the news!
