Travel in a plastic bag to stay pure

[Eirikur]

An Orthodox Jewish man, wrapped in a plastic bag in his airline seat, apparently did so because he was probably a Kohen who went to extreme lengths to make sure he would not be ritually impure if the plane flew over a Jewish cemetery.

By covering himself in plastic, he established a separation between him and impurities.

So the airliner's aluminum cabin is not enough cover?

Indeed, hence, why everyone you "employ" to "service" you, insists you wear two, or, sometimes even three.

Luckily, there is quite a lot of stretch to incorporate your, portly, belly.

Sounds like a good idea. Should I bring my own? Or pay 5p to the airline for it?
