Know what I find really freaky? A Psychiatrist did this. Which makes me question things. I mean he worked in a medical building with other Psychiatrists, Drs, Nurses... and no one noticed his behavior in the previous months? I would think that Doctors (medical and mental) would be the first to pinpoint signs.

Psychiatrists and Psychologists are all crazy themselves.
The fact that you noticed the number of Middle Eastern people on your flights says that you did, in fact, think twice about it. Did you notice the Asians? Hispanics? Blacks? How about the number of white people? Did you take notice of how many doors you opened today? Or how many red vehicles you saw on the road? In the last restroom you used that wasn't your own, was the toilet paper over, or under?
I'm not racist by any means, but I surely notice when I'm in a room with a lot of people who aren't white. I've long since given up denying my prejudices. We need them to function in the everyday world, just like we need our unconcious mind to filter out all the stuff we are used to, and pass us the unusual - and potentially dangerous. Not every snarling dog is going to bite you... just most of them. Prejudice is a survival trait.
PS: ITS A TRAP! ...I MEAN, ITS A CONSPIRACY!

I always wonder that too, it's probably the little lady next to you.
One year for bridge day right after 9/11 national security was very high because the bridge is a huge threat with 100,000 people on it at one time. A friend of mine runs the rappels from beneath the bridge so we were involved in that end. Anyway - I'm standing around at the morning breakfast for the people working those areas, and this little hatchback drives up and stops beside me. Inside is a man that appears about 80 with a little lady that also looks to be in her 80s - pleasant looking aunt Bee type but slim. The man says "excuse me, is this the FBI headquarter section? My wife is FBI and we aren't sure which camp we are supposed to be at".

Agreed. I always notice when im not in a room full of whites as well...I always notice when a black man walks in...or a mexican...or even a chinese......its just how I am and its how a lot of people are. Nothing registers if a white dude walks in however.......
Whether thats a good trait to have is another story however.....maybe its wrong to some folks and an ignorant mindset to others....but hey, it is what it is. Hell, I even feel uncomfortable sitting in a room if im the only white man and the rest are all black folks or even all mexicans or chinese. Im not afraid to admit it.
Im not racist either...never have been....my best friend back in HS was a Mexican....ive had black friends as well.

Fort Hood shooter linked to 9/11 Terrorist group:

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/6521758/Fort-Hood-shooting-Texas-army-killer-linked-to-September-11-terrorists.html
Major Nidal Malik Hasan worshipped at a mosque led by a radical imam said to be a "spiritual adviser" to three of the hijackers who attacked America on Sept 11, 2001.
Hasan, the sole suspect in the massacre of 13 fellow US soldiers in Texas, attended the controversial Dar al-Hijrah mosque in Great Falls, Virginia, in 2001 at the same time as two of the September 11 terrorists, The Sunday Telegraph has learnt. His mother's funeral was held there in May that year.
The preacher at the time was Anwar al-Awlaki, an American-born Yemeni scholar who was banned from addressing a meeting in London by video link in August because he is accused of supporting attacks on British troops and backing terrorist organisations.

I'd say that I hope he gets the chair but I think that would be far too kind for some one that didn't have that kindness in his heart when he murdered a bunch of people, many of whom were at the start of their adult lives.

Even if he gets the death penalty, which I'm sure he will, they're saying it'll be AT LEAST 20 years before his appeals are exhausted anyway.

I have my doubts that we'll ever find out or know what this guys demise will be.
Hes probably going to rot somewhere in protective custody, its unlikely that he'll ever be put in the general population again.
