Political correctness notwithstanding, shouldn't Homeland Security advise people (especially brain-dead gas station attendants): DON'T assist suspicious mohams in ANY WAY. (By suspicious, I mean if they look, walk or talk like any one of the 19 9-11 hijackers). How about if they got their diesel thanks to this good Samaritan, and then nuked Denver?
In WWII, wouldn't we have KNOWN, wouldn't the govt have TOLD us not to assist suspicious swatsika-wearing men who spoke German? (I believe this is a scenario in a number of Hollywood war-era propaganda films.)
You wouldn't help a spy, a sabotuer. If someone helped a spy, even unwittingly, he'd have been in a heapa trouble, circa 1942. Shouldn't the FBI hold this station attendant up as an example of a citizen not being alert, of even ABETTING the enemy?
Or maybe they were dressed like preppies driving a big rig. Or maybe they had turbans on. Nothing would surprise me. I'm getting a vision of Dr. Evil in his trucker hat talking to Goldmember.
