While it is true that western nations are dying to be scared... every news... everyday is about who is coming down to kill them... paranoia is government induced... Each hyped incident allows govt to miss main issues like national debts & unemployment... & send young kids to die to secure oil wells & pipelines... in the name of fighting terror...
but the issue here is that ... one is sure that all passengers on that flight had mobile phones... yet select few chose to keep jumping around & use the phones... & who got harassed..? the rest of the passengers...
flight could be international or from Bangalore to Cochin ... if some joker is monkeying around & wants to show off his handset... white black purple orange... whatever the color... lock him in... one need not be holding a bomb...just walking around when seatbelt sign is on OR using handset inflight is enough...
If however the attendents for absolutely no reason requested F-16s, diverted the plane & harassed passengers... sue the damn airlines for being racist...
but one is sure there was some wrong behavior by the passengers... US airhostess cant just order F16s on a whim... no airline is offering such perks...
