"Air pilgrims face holy water ban" - BBC

"Pilgrims on the Vatican's new chartered airline have been told to leave holy water behind for security reasons.

Officials at Tarbes-Lourdes airport in southern France said that bottles of water from the shrine at Lourdes could present a potential terrorist threat.

The pilgrims were told they could not carry holy water in bottles bigger than the maximum allowed: 100 ml.
...
The airline provided a small bottle of holy water, in the shape of the Virgin Mary, for each passenger, once they had boarded the plane for the flight home from Lourdes."

I don't know. There's something between serious and funny in this. That's why I'm posting.

2. More religious hysteria and angst to be stirred up.

Something else to blame Muslims for and something else for Christians to feel persecuted about.
