Sheesh, this is getting more and more ridiculous every passing day.

Add ridiculous paranoia to the list of delays passengers could potentially face.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...rlines-flight/

Quote:
On Thursday evening, a 40-year-old man — with dark, curly hair, olive skin and an exotic foreign accent — boarded a plane. It was a regional jet making a short, uneventful hop from Philadelphia to nearby Syracuse.

Or so dozens of unsuspecting passengers thought.

The curly-haired man tried to keep to himself, intently if inscrutably scribbling on a notepad he’d brought aboard. His seatmate, a blond-haired, 30-something woman sporting flip-flops and a red tote bag, looked him over. He was wearing navy Diesel jeans and a red Lacoste sweater – a look he would later describe as “simple elegance” – but something about him didn’t seem right to her........

Casey Norton, a spokesman for American Airlines (whose regional partner Air Wisconsin operated the flight), said the woman had indeed initially told the crew she was sick, but when she deplaned she disclosed that the reason she was feeling ill was her concern about the behavior of her seatmate. At that time, she requested to be rebooked on another flight.

Yes - yes, that's exactly what I suggest, when someone doesn't have anything intelligent to say. As in this case.

The man was scribbling on a piece of paper, for god's sake. That woman is a mentally unbalanced, xenophobic, racist cretin. Welcome to Donald Trump's America.

While she is all those things, I do believe it was the Obama administration that implemented "If you see something, say something" campaign.

She probably posts on this forum. I wonder if she'll identify herself.

I'm concerned about a grown woman who doesn't recognize math when she sees it.

Not only is she a xenophobe. She is dumb as she didn't recognize a differential equation.
