If he was praying with fervor, and (presumably) kissing his tzitzit, and perhaps when approached by the FA he did not respond (since Jews are not supposed to be interrupted when they pray).......I can see where someone who has never been exposed to this type of fervent prayer could be confused.

But when you see an Orthodox Jew who is dressed in prayer garb praying.......you can tell that they're praying!!! This goes for Muslims as well as any other religion. Praying is praying......and it doesn't look suspicious to me.
