I have traveled on planes where I'd estimate that 70% (or more) of the plane was of Middle Eastern descent. And nothing happened. I'm not saying some of you don't have legitimate concerns, but don't let them overwhelm good sense.

Swiss, your retort ignors the essence of the discussion. The author, (and for that matter, me as well) wasnt freaked out that there were men of middle eastern descent on the plane. As a matter of fact she had had conversation with one of them before she boarded. It was the
actions of the men once
on the plane that freaked her out.
I wouldnt be freaked out by 15 middle eastern looking men on my flight. If they all got up and acted all freaky, then I'd be in a panic.
