Made it to LHR. Security here was much more civilised than in PHL.
My 1600 flight to PHL showed an on-time departure, but our departure was delayed for about an hour.
Turns out that as the cleaning crew was going though the 747 (with RR engines, of course), they noticed a card with writing on it.
At first, they suspected it was Arabic, but it was not.
Then, they thought it was an Indian language, but it was not.
Finally, they identified the lettering as Hebrew, but it was actually Yiddish.
It took them a while to get it translated, and when they discovered it was not a threat, they let us board.
