It didn't say they were of middle eastern appearance, it said two men of Asian appearance

Asian appearance could mean anything, Indian, Chinese, Malaysian, Caucasian, Gherka and so on. I don't understand why the Brits would be so afraid to fly with a couple Gherkas? I thought they were some of the best and most loyal British soldiers.

Three weeks ago I flew from Oakland, Ca. to Atlanta...a 4-plus hour flight..

I noticed the two mideastern guys in line with me....one dressed casually, the other in a sportscoat...

..when I finally boarded the plane, wouldn't you know it....one of them was sitting in front of me, and the other had the seat next to me!!

Actually, he argued that my seat....the aisle seat...was his.

I'm usually mild mannered, but I argued back and pointed out specifically that it was mine.
..I did not like him immediately.

I was so freaked out & nervous, I just sat there and cried, thinking I would have to spend the next few hours right next to him......he was just weird.

I prayed....I really prayed, cause my imagination was running wild, and I remembered what they did to those stewardesses on 9/11.....(and this guy sure wanted my aisle seat)...

...eventually, I calmed & read my book...

..and the guy (who didn't have a carry on...all he had was a plastic bag with items he kept pulling out)...

..put on a sleepmask **of all things** and went or pretended to go...to sleep.

I don't ever want to experience that again....it's too nerve racking.

ASIAN guys?

When did Asian guys blow anything up?

I'd be more concerned about them cooking my cat unless I'm missing something.
