The posts responding to your inquiry are a manifestation of a good number of people's growing frustration with all the imagined "suspicious activity" that happens at airports and on airplanes, and with the growing practice of "authorities" -- be it TSA, immigration/customs or airline employees -- and nervous nelly passengers acting like little Napoleons by whimsically claiming suspicious activity that so routinely turns out to be anything but suspicious except in the minds of the ignorant, the bigoted.
This is why I'm trying to find out what you and others consider suspicious activity worthy of notice.
Some of the details mentioned in the MSP story seem a little suspicious. I would NOT have passed a note, but I would have continued to observe. If nothing else occurred, then fair enough. I'm sure I've done my share of weird and suspicious things over the years. The key is
observation and not
overreaction.
