Backgammon Terror

Reported:-

Authorities are expected to release three passengers whose behavior during a flight to Phoenix Tuesday morning caused the plane to be diverted to St. Louis...Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officials told KTVI that three passengers were removed from the plane for suspicious activity.

According to the station, members of the flight crew became alarmed when one of the men got up to use the bathroom while the light instructing passengers to remain seated was still on. Another man was not seated in his assigned seat, KTVI said.

The men, who were Israeli citizens of Russian descent, also raised concerns after being seen with what the station described as "an ornate wooden box" and a backgammon game.

Can we have a bit of culutral sensitivity training?
