I thought the following was the most important paragraph in the entire article:

When it was removed from the mantelpiece, it was stuck at first, but Mr. Lowe said the Bible was in “really good shape.” When they took it to the airport to return to Illinois, Mr. Lowe said, a representative from United Airlines who helped them through security grew emotional at seeing it. “She completely broke down crying,” he said.

I would be willing to bet one "Abraham Lincoln" ($5) that the woman in question was black.
