TSA would also like to inform the traveling public that they may notice passengers observing Ramadan engaging in the following activities at the airports:
1. Passengers observing Ramadan will abstain from any food, water, smoking or vices of any kind.
Um ... how exactly does one notice someone
not doing something?
"Hmm. Look at that person over there. He's sitting there not eating, not drinking, and not indulging any other vices. He must be observing Ramadan!"

mistake an ancient religious practice as a terrorist threat.
Don't get me wrong ... I don't think it'll be a big deal, either. But reminding folks that "this is a common activity" is probably a good idea ... especially when the same security apparatus keeps telling people to "report anything unusual" ...
