First what the hell is WOMEN WALL STREET.COM? Is there a publication called MEN WALL STREET? The hysterical babe needs to take a deep breath. The Hispanic population in the US is more than 25% already, so by the time you add the Indians, and other mixed race population, we can imagine that more than half of the US population are not blond and blue eyed. If we are going to soil our underwear every time we see a darker skin person, we will have no lives.

I don't even know why the idiot who posted this stupid article said it is a "MUST READ"! I wasted my time.

Did you READ the article or just skim it? From the article I found the following VERY interesting:

"As boarding continued, we watched as, one by one, most of the Middle Eastern men made eye contact with each other. They continued to look at each other and nod, as if they were all in agreement about something..."

"The man in the yellow T-shirt got out of his seat and went to the lavatory at the front of coach -- taking his full McDonald's bag with him. When he came out of the lavatory he still had the McDonald's bag, but it was now almost empty. He walked down the aisle to the back of the plane, still holding the bag. When he passed two of the men sitting mid-cabin, he gave a thumbs-up sign. When he returned to his seat, he no longer had the McDonald's bag."

"Then another man from the group stood up and took something from his carry-on in the overhead bin. It was about a foot long and was rolled in cloth. He headed toward the back of the cabin with the object. Five minutes later, several more of the Middle Eastern men began using the forward lavatory consecutively. In the back, several of the men stood up and used the back lavatory consecutively as well."

"Suddenly, seven of the men stood up -- in unison -- and walked to the front and back lavatories. One by one, they went into the two lavatories, each spending about four minutes inside. Right in front of us, two men stood up against the emergency exit door, waiting for the lavatory to become available. The men spoke in Arabic among themselves and to the man in the yellow shirt sitting nearby. One of the men took his camera into the lavatory. Another took his cell phone. Again, no one approached the men. Not one of the flight attendants asked them to sit down. I watched as the man in the yellow shirt, still in his seat, reached inside his shirt and pulled out a small red book. He read a few pages, then put the book back inside his shirt. He pulled the book out again, read a page or two more, and put it back. He continued to do this several more times."

"The last man came out of the bathroom, and as he passed the man in the yellow shirt he ran his forefinger across his neck and mouthed the word "No."

Sorry, but NONE of the activity described above is "normal". I do a fair amount of travel for business and personal each year and if ANY of the above happend on a flight I was on I would be VERY concerned.

My first thoughts one this was that this was that this was a "test" flight. These guys wanted to see how passengers and crew would react and what the security was (if any) aboard.

The only good news in this article was there WAS Air Marshalls aboard. Somehow they knew these clowns were travelling and wanted to keep an eye on them. They were smart for not breaking their cover.

I'm not a chicken little and I dont see every ME Man as a Terrorist. I'm NOT a fool either and just because "nothing" happend doesnt make it ok.

If you actually read the article (fat chance!) you would see they all had Syrian passports. So they were genuine Arabs:

A law enforcement official stood near us, holding 14 Syrian passports in his hand.

Hysterical racist? Not if her story is true.
