The Poojer Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Are people really that ignorant to do stuff like that? I mean common man, you know the fear level is still way up there, why even hint at something that might be misconstrued as inappropriate???? http://today.reuters.com/news/newsarticle....E-PASSENGER.xml 555188[/snapback]
Puhonix Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 I'm all for freedom of speech, but sometimes a little common sense works wonders.

I guess I shouldn't read a review of Air Force One, since it would talk about terrorists and planes. According to the article, it was a song title, lyrics, or a band. It doesn't even sound like he wrote that while on the plane, and probably didn't think anything of it. It's all paranoia. CW

Also, I'd like to think that a real suicide bomber isnt carrying around a journal that says "Suicide Bomber" on the side.

If he were scrawling "suicide bomber" on the pages during the flight, with pictures of explosions and such, I don't think I'd have a problem with him being questioned - that's just dumb on his part. But the article doesn't make it sound that way. People need to stop snooping at what others are doing and then jumping to conclusions based on what they see.
The Poojer Posted January 5, 2006 Posted January 5, 2006 Hey I think it sucks that we have to be that careful too, but I have grown accostomed to it, but also thankfully at least we have a lot of alert pedestrians that were able to spot that and err on the side of caution, no harm no foul!
