if you saw a group of middle-eastern looking men getting on it?
I had this discussion at the airport yesterday and I was wondering what people really think.

I've done it quite a few times. No problem. Try making a serious guess about the percentage of "middle-eastern looking men" who are terrorists.

You might want to be careful having this discussion in airports. Talking about terrorism or hijacking in the presence of airport security might just earn you a visit to the back room and an unexpected delay in your trip.

Yes, I would still get on the plane. You can't stereotype what a typical hijacker or terrorist looks like...it could be anyone! It could be your next door neighbor, your friend...anyone!To quote an old saying: "You can't judge a book by its cover" those men you saw are probally just typical business men and they just happen to be around at the same time. Don't forget America is made up of all different types of people, tall, small, skinny, fat, black, white, rall different races (remember the melting pot?), rude and nice. And you need to treat each person with respect and the way that you want to be treated.

Yes, I would. You can't profile people just because of what they believe and stereotype them by thinking they're going to bomb the plane or something. People are people, even if they do something wrong. So you (not you in particular, just people) shouldn't assume the worst about them if you don't know them.

Yes, because my son son looks middle-eastern (although he's Irish/Mexican). I would not get on the airplane with a drunken pilot though.

Yes, I would get on the plane because not every middle-easten person is bad.

Yes I would, still can't single out the whole race of them just because of one group.
