Math professor was escorted off a plane because passenger thought he was a terrorist.
http://thinkprogress.org/justice/2016/05/08/3776376/math-professor-terrorism/
He was working on a math equation. She didn't understand what he was writing so she thought "I can't understand that so this must be a terrorist plot" He was questioned, the flight was delayed for two hours and was let back on the plane.
There was a story maybe a few months ago of a man being kicked off a plane for saying "InshaAllah" God willing and that's pretty ridulous but this story is just plane (lol) crazy. People are being questioned about whether they are terrorists or not because they are doing math? Dumb as heck
What do you think?

1 답변I thought the title said he was escorted off the planet when I clicked on this. That's too bad though.

2 답변I'm terrified of flying on airplanes, so I'd probably react the same way. Anybody with a notepad would immediately become a suspect for terrorism.

1 답변Maybe he was trying to work out that if you type 5378008 and turn the calculator upside down it spells 'boobies'?

4 답변I don't know. Racial profiling is necessary when a particular race keeps committing specific crimes. But, I've also heard that this sort of profiling has it's drawbacks. Would be terrorists just have to find European looking people to avoid suspicion. It's a tricky issue. If Arabs keep committing acts of terrorism it would be a little silly to not have an increased suspicion of Arabs.
