My Fears, Somewhat Relieved

My Fears, Somewhat Relieved

As usual, Click Here for the article.

This is a follow-up to my previous post, located here. One journalist aboard a plane departing from Detroit, headed for Los Angeles, found some disturbances among a few Middle Eastern men, who appeared to congregate outside the restrooms, talking among themselves, while the flight attendants did nothing to counter them. When the plane landed, the FBI and Homeland Security people took them in for some heavy-duty questioning, and their story checked out: they were musicians, scheduled to play at a casino in some California desert.

In this follow-up, a Ph.D. student from Stanford did his own research, with the help of Mr. Google, and tracked down theses Syrian musicians. Their story checks out. They were scheduled to play music, and they did. They behaved well, and did nothing to indicate that they were there for any other reason than to play music.

I am a bit relieved. Somehow, I will still be a bit afraid to fly, but if it comes down to it, I think I can manage.
