Flight Delayed Because Man Writes In Arabic
Paranoid Loon At AMS
The good news is that it was the paranoid loon who left the plane - though they did get a free flight the next day.

"An easyJet flight was delayed for two hours following a security alert when a passenger was spotted writing in Arabic.
A pupil on the flight from Amsterdam to Newcastle started having a panic attack when the man, a masters student in Iranian studies, was seen writing in his notebook.
The pupil started kicking on the seats in front before getting up and running to the back of the plane, according to The Chronicle ."
In what universe is this kid EVER going to be safe to fly? *HE* is the security risk, not a fellow passenger.

But, yes ... for once, the innocent party was allowed to continue on his journey without difficulty. (Or, at least, no more difficulty than anyone else.)

if I was one of the other 15 who weren't too scared to fly. I wonder how they treated Mr Scaredy-pants?

Right, if someone who don't understand. They don't speak English or any other foreign language. If you need an interpreter. They need translated from other passengers. They here to help.
