The fact that Airport Security were trying to be vague and not put the guy on the spot(probably not too offend in public)is where the real fault is here.


I just saw the new Captain America at the movie theater this weekend and they ran a service announcement about "sketchy characters".

Basically they were saying pay attention and report something even if it's nothing.

Just like taking your shoes off at the airport.  It's the world we live in.

People will make mistakes.  It's not perfect...  but safety is the main agenda.

Probably because he was was concentrating and it really was none of her business.  It's just funny that she felt so unsafe she got off the  plane...and didn't tell anyone else to.  Then there are people who think it was a good thing because we have to look out for...wait for it...foreign looking people but then turn around and accuse others of not caring about physical attributes and race.
