Reply #7: South Asia [View All]

[Mortos]

Includes India and Pakistan. Your header made me think these were central Asian people. I find it strange that people using cell phones would be considered suspicious behavior but if these people were brown skinned and from India or Pakistan then it makes more sense that air marshalls would over-react. If it was a group of teen aged white girls using phones I doubt seriously anything would have happened as a result but the bush administration has everyone so worked up and fearful of "Islamic Fascists" that this type of thing is bound to happen more often as nervous, scared ignorant passengers and crews look for and create "suspicious behavior".

Here is Wikipedia's definition of South Asia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Asia
