Did I overreact? Skipped my flight. (Srs)

[DicedPineapples]

I'm trying to imagine OP living in NYC

brb waiting for the next subway every time a muslim with a backpack or a sketchy looking group of black guys gets on

you'd literally never go anywhere

[broboma2012]

while i understand op's cautiousness, leaving your dad to go by himself is weird. If my dad was going and I was that concerned i would not separate myself from him. either i would convince him to stay or go with him for better or for worse.

[Lpenny]

Good luck at the Masters hope u win the leather jacket

[PeterDINK]

fuggin lmfao.

is this how all people in the south are? afraid of muslims with bad attitudes?

probably was a bunch of kebabs in that heavy ass case too

[dbluevette]

lol yes you fuktard you over reacted.

[EvertonFC2010]

I told the delta agent my story and stated I'm not trying to sound like a bigot or racist. She did not hesitate to accommodate me. Sad that PC is alive and kicking and I don't want to offend anyone

Looks like false alarm. My dad landed and I just did as well. Rather be safer than sorry folks.

It's okay, next time, you see something, you say something - to the police

[Rottweiler1]

Ok, so you were willing to let your dad die if it did turn out to be something else? Lmao nice one homie

This OP wtf you fuking jackass

[SmackBang77]

It just happened a few days ago.

Fake suicide belt and crazy behavior, thats just a 5150 on a plane and has nothing to do with terrorism, plus they neutralized him easily. There is almost no chance of getting a bomb or weapon on the plane, especially in the u.s.

but the last time an actual hijack where the assailant had power and intent to harm was a very long time ago

[shotgun85]

and the son of the year award goes to.................

[TrueForester]

In b4 OP dies and his alpha father lives.

[Drakor]

When's the last time a plane got hijacked ? Like, 911 ?

Have some faith in the security protocols, all airport related attacks happen outside the airport or at the luggage registration, not on the actual plane.

Like when they make you get rid of any liquids by tossing them in a trash can. With all the other liquids. That you can't take on a plane because they might be a bomb. All of them sitting there together. In the most densely populated part of the airport. Faith restored thanks man.

[Chesso95]

know those feels

some shady burqa wearing muslim and her husband got on the same tram as me once and I moved to the back. If someone is fully covered up I'm not taking any chances

[weightsb4dates]

Interesting fact: the guys from the Brussels bombings were identified because the cab driver tipped the police because they didn't want him to carry their bags.

this!!!!!!!! wtf why did you not make mention to the tsa?

[DeshaunWatson]

Itt: people didn't read post 3.

[drvillain]

lol you hovered over this dude? he deserved to allah akbar your ass into the ground

[momo5]

terrorist don't cause a scene bro, so they wouldn't have attitude or cause drama at the airport.

first rule of being undetected is to be invisible and normal.

nobody going to get a bomb on a plane in the USA, they would even dig it out of your angus if they had to.

[GaloisTheory]

I don't know why you're so paranoid: Islam is the religion of peace. He was probably the safest guy to be next to on that entire plane.

[D-Nutt]

Good choice, OP. My condolences on the death of your father, though.

[TheAmericano]

cliffs:

- op suspects terrorist actions

- Let's dad get on the plane while he gets on another

- Claims to tell someone but i think it's BS op didn't say anything and keep his mouth shut



*** Op you really expect me to bee leaf that you told the flight attendant and she did nothing. Also why the fawk didn't you report this to the TSA. Everyone is scared to speak up today ***

[KeyHolder]

Headed to Atlanta to go to the Masters. My father and I parked at an offsite lot that transports you to the Airport. a married muslim couple came to the bus to be picked up with a terrible attitude(also wore zip up jackets like it was 20 degrees out - - It's like 70) Would not let the driver take their luggage. (it was heavy and very strong luggage, also more than they could carry)(kinds you transport big guns and chit)






He then asked them which airline, and they both said different airlines. I was so appalled. They dropped her off first as she was the only one who flew SouthWest. He got off with her to say his goodbyes. (i thought he was getting off for good and left his chit)(this is when I started freaking out)... (he ended up getting back on).

We go to check in, and he's of course on my flight. FLL>ATL. Big plane thats full to capacity. We get to our terminal and he's all the way by himself on his poverty dell and phone. I go over to hover him and he's deleting chit off his poverty windows and off his poverty black berry).


I tell my dad you can go alone and i went and changed my flight to the next one. (they leave every hour)


cliffs:
Married muslims, separate flight
heavy bags and luggage
sketchy, and i switch flights.

You didn't overreact.

[golfer929]

Did you forget about that whole little security thing you stood in line for? Since Brussels airport security has doubled in an effort to make people feel more safe. Just sitting in front of a random Denver flight the other day a TSA dog came and sniffed the gate three times in 2 hours.

[RainingBlood]

Don't these places have a "if you see something, say something" policy?

[Better Unborn]

Would have done the same.

Being alive > being politically correct nu-male.

Wasn't a Russia-bound commercial plane bombed just recently (last few months)?

[Kay4Kool]

lol overreacted

you do watch too much tv

and their agenda is working

go give up more of your freedom for "security"

oh wait you don't have faith in the tsa do you

[spurz89]

Imagine how chitty you would feel if the plane got bombed and you let your dad die.

But anyway I don't have a problem with what you did. It's your own time to waste and you didn't cause a scene or harass the guy so no harm done.

[stratosXII]

Just a few months ago a commercial flight with hundreds of passengers on their way to Russia exploded, with authorities almost certain that it was due to a sophisticated bomb.

[FakeRabona]

Can't disarm him if the luggage is deep down brother. You have 0 control.

If I've learned anything from films like Executive Decision or Passenger 57, there's always a way into the cargo hold.

[PissantSoldier]

Just a few months ago a commercial flight with hundreds of passengers on their way to Russia was exploded, with a "90% chance" that it was due to a sophisticated bomb.

"sophisticated"

[sickh11]

at least the snackbar got to kill your dad
