Let's not kid ourselves. When was the last time you saw a decent perfume advertisement? Every brand is competing for the most outrageous and risqué billboards to get people's attention.

I don't think that what these people are doing is the right thing, but don't make it out like travelling through the airport is just like going to a wedding in the next town.

And while we're on the subject, here is another....
Airport ads are worse than billboards on the street in NYC or TLV?

Not necessarily, but they're more in your face.

Probably some improperly healed damage. Case in point Torry Holt's finger.

If someone wants to live a totally sheltered life and never step out of the bais medrash, then I say ashrei chelkum.  But to the extent that the vast majority of us do live in this world, a blindfold is not the answer.  I want to know where these guys are flying to that warrants leaving their 4 amos.  Don't take a trip to the States and show everyone you're so holy that you need a blindfold.  Stay home.

The mekubal Harav Gamliel Rabinovitz, shlita, spoke in my yeshiva yesterday morning. He said that people ask him if it's a good idea to go to Uman for R"H. He answers them: if it will cause you to violate even one halacha - even as simple as tying your left shoe before your right - then don't go. Why? Because this (halacha) is written in the Shulchan Aruch, and this (going to Uman) is not. Simple as that.

If these people are really, truly ehrliche enough to be on that level of caring about halacha, they shouldn't be taking chances, even with an eye mask. They should stay home. Period.

Probably just overuse from too much driving in NYC.

Would this not be considered a chillul Hashem? I think that perhaps they are better off staying home.

If that's Ratzon Hashem then it isn't a Chilul Hashem even if they might think we fell from the moon.

Regarding Burkas I'm not really familiar with the issue so I won't comment.
Chilul Hashem isn't a PR method.

Truly a special person. To the extent I can say it, he's one of my all-time favs.

+1 on the concept, people seem to think that if a goy thinks you are interesting then its automatically a CH.
