No need to get Hysterical

in an article by Peter Hirschfeld we can observe the kinds of paranoia when people think that their flight is the one that is going to be blown up by a hysterical white woman in the front row.  If we dispatched F-15s every time someone thought they saw something suspicious or drew some far fetched conclusion based on something they saw or said we’d rapidly run out of jets.  There are significantly more suspicious and strange occurrences - especially when everyone is on edge - than actual dangerous activities.  Are we going to overreact to every one just because the consequences may be dire?  Or are we going to realize that sometimes when someone buys 1000 cellphones they’re just trying to make a living.
