Radio news had a blurb about it. Supposedly, airline personnel have noticed an unusual increase in ME men and women showing interest in airlines, personnel, etc.

Airlines have told personnel to be more alert to potentials.

Absolutely heard it. Surprised there was no mention here.
CBS news, i think, on the radio, mentioned Europepean cities where pilots, cabincrews, had been followed and videotaped and even audiotaped in cities like Rome, Berlin, Amsterdam. ME men seemed to be monitoring their travel and schedules and hotel layovers.

Funny thing, reminded me of the airline pilots uniforms that had gone missing, apparently stolen, somewhere in Europe, Rome, maybe, last year after September 11.

There's a current thread about the break-in of hotel rooms of American pilots in European locations, and the taking of uniforms and identification, along with procedure documents. And ... several airline staff have alluded to being followed or watched while in foreign locations.

Middle Eastern men casually approach our airline crews to ask a few questions...

But if our people approach Middle Eastern men to ask a few questions, we get slammed for "profiling"... Hmmmm.
