Because they are attention whores. There's really no way around it.

LOOKIT HOW DEVOUT I AM!

That would explain the disruptive praying loudly in the aisles, as opposed to you know praying quietly in their seats.

I still want to know if they poke air holes in those things.

This doesn't explain the bags, though.  So they have to be in a separate building, and that separate building that's (at most) a few hundred feet away is "safe," but being miles away from a cemetery in the air, while in a plane (how does that not count as a building?)  isn't enough?  The bag is somehow more protection from the ghost cooties than the WHOLE FUCKING PLANE and the MILES of space between yourself and the cemetery?  I mean, honestly, you are farthest from a cemetery when you're up in a plane, unless you live in the middle of nowhere. For example, right now, sitting in my house, I am 0.7 miles away from a funeral home driving, but closer to 0.5 miles (2640 feet) away from if it you were to draw a straight line.  Airplanes cruise at about 35,000 feet, so more than 13 times farther away from that funeral home than I am right now?  If you cannot be within 35,000 feet of a funeral home, then I expect you (general you) to go EVERYWHERE in that plastic bag.

ETA: The practice itself doesn't bother me, as it doesn't affect anyone other than the one doing the practicing, but the logic behind it is driving me nuts!

Cooties float up, duh. If you were closer to God, you'd know that.

It's because she's a woman. Women can't be as close to God as men. It is known.

Is that the point of Jesus bangs? We all know men are always talker than women so perhaps the added hair height helps bring God into closer focus. Like copper wire.

How do they tie the top of the bag?

Also a good question!

The plot thickens.
ETA: Is that something you can press the fight attendant call button for?

But what if it's a woman? She could accidentally touch him.
