Terrorism is Terrorism, even in small ways

We found this recently, and thought it should be shared. This is an amazingly ridiculous way in which the innocent are being harassed, while the enemy continues to terrorize us in many, many ways.

One of the more common activities, largely in reaction to the greater scrutiny Middle-Eastern men get at airports, is to act suspiciously once on the airplane. This has led to a few news reports of passengers, and flight crew, being terrified to the point where they call for police help before landing. But what is being encountered here are young men pretending to be what they are often suspected of by airport security screeners. A form of ironic revenge. Technically, this is illegal, but no one has been able to make a case yet. But if some of this nonsense causes a passenger to have a heart attack, or instigates some violence on board, a heretofore ignored area of the war on terror will get more attention.

Why haven’t they been arrested and prosecuted for such behavior? Other regular, albeit stupid, people who thought they would play an insane joke, have been arrested for such activity. Is it that they are middle-eastern that gives them immunity?

In an opposite version of the “Boy Who Cried Wolf”, the authorities will fail to prosecute one of these idiots, resulting in one of them feeling confident enough to REALLY try something physically harmful.
The truth is, emotional and mental terrorism is still terrorism.
Once again, it is the failure of the authorities, who are charged to protect us, to utilize the EXISTING laws to curb terrorist behavior that will lead to more.
And, then they will wonder why?
We won’t.
