Really? I've re-read the quote several times, and can't see how it illustrates anything about attire or seating arrangement. I do see that it shows that the FAM should have kept his mouth shut because he had no way of knowing if the lady he was flirting with was a terrorist, but attire and seating arrangement would have made no difference after he opened his mouth. It seems as if this was just an attempt by you to fire up the old no FAMS in f.c. discussion again. I thought that horse was dead.

Have a great day all!
