We are all victims in this case, except us and a small percentage of others.... But the rest seem so terrorized in their own minds by this so-called 'war on terror' that as a society we allow a "shoot first and ask questions" later mind set..

BTW, what is the "war on terror", except in one's own mind?.. For terror is a "state of mind".. I guess it is a war on one's self.. I can't see it any other way..

I feel for the sky marshals for they are in an untenable situation. They are trained to believe any "different" behavior is suspect.. So they done the right thing from their POV..

The passengers think the same, but neither of the above seem to know ANY REAL terrorist is not going to behave that way..

But that type thinking is spurred on by fear mongering, like in the 1950's in this country.. But it is an age old problem, put the fear of god into the unthinking masses and you can control them...

For awhile anyway, fortunately for the longer term,, but unfortunately for the short term..
