Centimeter-wide leather straps now look like "wires"? Morons.

I'm always worried I'm going to be going through security at an
airport and some TSA drone is going to be all suspicious of my
tefillin, and take marked glee in ripping them open when I express
concern at his actions. Then they'll probably arrest me for finding
secret documents inside scribbled in a funny language.

It reminds me of an instance that Chabad's Aleph Institute reported a
few years ago. Two prisoners were wrapping tefillin outside the
prison chapel, and received an infraction from a guard for "using a
device in an attempt to communicate with someone outside the
prison."
