I think it is exemplifying the irrational fear sweeping through the west. The reason the captain thought these people were terrorists:
'they were noisy, had large amounts of gsm's and laptops that they were handing over to each other the whole time, and they swapped places continuously'. In other words, completely ridiculous reasons to return a plane (and dump fuel in a lake, even the environment had to suffer from the irrational fear).
Meanwhile, the 10 Indians were detained for almost a week, and their stuff (the gsm's and laptops) were taken apart and still not returned to them.
I sincerely hope the Indian people and/or government will claim damages from the company and or our government, this is going much too far!
