There is no reason to make an assumption, hence there is no "safest" assumption in this case.

Of course there is a reason to make an assumption. The reason being to aid you in deciding what to do next. For my part I am going to assume for the time being that this was a deliberate act. As a result of my assumption I am going to be staying off of planes for the forseeable future. I suspect most people with brains in their heads will error on the side of caution with me and stay off of planes as well. If they have a choice of course.

I suspect most people with brains in their heads will error on the side of caution with me and stay off of planes as well. If they have a choice of course. Which is exactly what the terrorists want. "Let's all go hide under the bed until the big bad boogeyman goes away." We can choose to let them intimidate us, or we can get in their faces with out and out defiance. We get to choose. Do we wear panties or don't we? That's our choice.
