You're about to board the plane when suddenly you see 4 to 5 Arab, Muslim or Islamic looking men also on the same flight. What do you do? Do you walk away and catch another flight or do you say the hell with it and get on board anyway?

I can understand that after 9/11 everyone is afraid but being an american woman married to a Kuwaiti, with 4 beautiful "half arab" kids, it makes me really sad to read things like this. Why should you notify the flight attendant, or and air marshall? When Timothy Mcveigh blew up the trade center in OK, did everyone start watching all the white guys like a hawk? You are saying that my children and husband have to be watched at all times based on their race or religion? That is ridiculous and very very racist. Not all muslims are terrorist, not all terriots are arab it is horrible for people to be scared of someone else based on where they are from. Be realistic. Anyone can blow up a plane, not only arabs.

I would board the flight, and if I felt it warranted it I would notify the flight crew so that they could keep an eye on them, plus maybe notify the air marshall, and I would do the same. Caution and preparation are good, fear and changing your life because of it is bad. As long as they are under observation you will be ok. Plus with new security protocols there's no reason to panic over something this trivial.

Good question!
I personally would get on the flight. You can't always think that everyone is a terrorist. I might be alittle scared until I get to my destination but you can't always be afraid either.
Arabic,Muslim, Islamic people are just like everyone else. There are terrorists in all nationalities. You never know.

Reality check: I would probably be scared out of my wits. But I cannot afford to miss a flight. I would be thinking very seriously about that plane in PA and just exactly how dear a cost I would sell my life for. God chooses where and when, but you get to choose what is worth living and...dying for. May he bless and keep you and guide you in your every decision.

Yes. Because I believe that if something is going to happen to me then it will happen no matter what I do to try and prevent it. Plus I work at the airport and I know the extreme measures that they have started taking since the terroist attack over in Europe.

I don't fly. If I did I would stay on. You can't constantly walk around in fear that someone might be a terrorist. That is just ridiculous. God decides when I go and there will be no stopping it.

I'd feel very nervous. I'd probably try to find out where they are from. Then after that make a decision.

I would tell a fly-attendant to keep a close eye on them. But nothing else.
