The Transportation Security Administration has issued a bulletin to help air travelers understand Muslim practices they might observe, especially as the Islamic holy month of Ramadan begins on Tuesday.
Ramadan is a holy month for Muslims, who observe the event with a variety of traditions.
The bulletin says Muslims abstain from food, water, smoking or vices of any kind during Ramadan.
It also says passengers may be seen reading, listening to or orally reciting the Holy Qur’an at airports and on airplanes.
