I kinda feel bad for the folks who commented that they saw suspicious activity but were afraid to report it for seeming like they were profiling....
Imagine they feel some burden from yesterday's events. :(
And Icon that's why even though the party I was with kind of poked fun at me for reporting a couple suspicious folks at the Clevelander a week or so ago but later on in the night several retracted and said they simply never would be looking for that kind of activity. That's what these idiots plan on, that we won't react. Shortly after 9/11 I was on a plane, one of the last times I have flown in the last 15 years and the uniformed crew member came on the intercom asking if (Insert Arabic Name) was on board. Everyone looking around and then relieved that nobody came forward and that nobody seemed to match that description. I was seated next to a Hollywood writer(no idea the name now) but he wrote and murmured next to me "Did Sheik's luggage make it on board?" and that was enough and I asked the lady to come back to our row immediately and got her involved in the the thinking. Pilot heard and immediately stopped the plane, we stayed like that for a good 30-45 minutes until they could verify neither he nor his luggage was anywhere on that plane.
People are typically ridiculed for profiling or speaking out, I've started to get over that feeling and just be ready to verbally attack back anyone who who raises an eyebrow when anyone starts asking questions.
