If so i've missed it perhaps thats my fault but i don't remember seeing anything about that.
I guess it makes sense to try to talk to them but when you get the leave the the fuck alone look you don't bug them. I guess i'd feel the same way especially after being cordial with someone before getting on the plane.

Subject: RE: Have you seen this?
Now, taking it a bit further.... I _am_ a young(er) man of Middle Eastern
descent. And realistically, I would have been frightened on this particular
flight. However, I think that I may have tried to strike up conversation
with the men to try and determine if they were in fact a group of some sort.
My last post was simply trying to point out that it is very dangerous to
just assume that something is wrong because the men fit a profile, and I am
afraid that there will be situations where people are attacked on a plane
because of the color of their skin. Articles like this one, while chilling
on the surface, will only heighten the chances of something like this
happening. I won't pretend to act like I have any answers, because I do not.
I just wanted to offer another viewpoint.
