I do not understand the stupidity of the media in trying to portray this incident as having anything connected with being racist. What those 12 people did (not listening to the flight attendants/captain) was just plain stupid, and in sensitive areas, especially like an aeroplane, nothing is more paramount than security. We cannot err on the side of the security. It is really irritating to see that the media, including Rediff, trying to portray that what happened in this incident is racially connected. Even if the 12 people were not Muslims, or Indians, even if they had been Americans or Britishers, the same would have been done. Those 12 people had no business whipping out their mobile phones and trying to talk into them, and looking "suspiciously" into plastic bags. That was JUST PLAIN STUPID! Nothing else!
