Some airline companies just do not trust their crew, do they?!

Yes I know it says “Please do not remove from aircraft”! But I was not carrying a portable hand scanner, for gods’ (ya, all the different ones mentioned below!) sake! I will put it back on my next trip – are you happy now?!

I guess I could have used my hand phone but then the words in the following pictures would not have been as clear. I really wanted you to read the words, because I have a question – how come only the Hindu and the Buddhist prayers are about irrelevant (higher?) issues such as inner peace and happiness and well-being for everyone, rather than about more pressing matters such as safe journey, guidance to air-crew and good weather? Does it speak volumes about the greatness of Oriental religions or does it merely provide a hint as to why the Abrahamic religions are more popular today even though the Eastern religions preceded them by a few centuries to a few millennia?
