[QUOTE]A page of Mr Buckworth's notebook seen by Fairfax Media contains the sentence: "In a land of melting ice-creams, sandy feet and fluffy bears, how could anyone be fearful of terrorism.
"Other doodles include a sketch of a chandelier – Mr Buckworth is an interior designer – and the play on words: "Terrorismadeup." In a cartoon of a child clutching his head, Mr Buckworth wrote in a thought bubble: "Tyrannosaurus Rex. Terodactyl. Tarantula. Terrorist."
Mr Buckworth said a neighbouring passenger told a flight attendant: "Look what he's writing." "I turned to him and said, 'Yes, look what I'm writing. Read the whole sentence. I'm just writing some notes.' "[/QUOTE]

Last I checked, terrorists don't actually call themselves terrorists. I'm pretty sure they think of themselves as heroes that are dedicated to a cause?
Glad they got him off the plane, he could have folded that paper into the shape of a gun and hijacked the plane with it.
I imagine he was shown to the escape pods.
He could have made a paper airplane and hit the pilot in the eye with it.
Wake up, America.
When they say ejected I imaged he was flung out of his chair and outside of the plane while they were still in the sky :v:
this is a bit ridiculous, but hey whatever it takes to prevent "terrorist's" right?

So if you don't talk to anyone they just throw you off the plane?

It's his lack of hostility or action that proves he's deadly.

Not talking to someone on a plane isn't anti social though.
[QUOTE=wikipedia]Anti-social behaviours are actions that harm or lack consideration for the well-being of others [[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-social_behaviour"]..[/URL]][/QUOTE]
So, does this mean the terrorists are winning?
Terrorists win again? The western world is scared and paranoid off its ass :v

Not talking to anyone is asocial behaviour. Anti-social behaviour is interacting with others and trying to annoy or upset them.

Flight of 1,000 papercuts.
But did he have a knife and a phone?
he was clearly out to convert the other passengers to terrorism with his brain-washing doodles
Isn't it [B]P[/B]terodactyl though.
These situations are just silly and serve no purpose other than to show the ridiculous McCarthyism mentality people have.
Oh wow, this was Australia. I really hope we don't go down the path that America has gone down, no offence to Americans, just their government officials.
[quote]Mr Buckworth has branded Tiger's conduct "ridiculous", especially after learning he had been "blacklisted" by the airline for an indeterminate time.
"My concern is what it looked like to the rest of the people on the plane. I did tell them as I was leaving, 'I'm not a criminal. This man simply took something out of context that I was writing in my book. Just so you know and this whole fear thing isn't instilled even further.' "

Why? When you're using terror tactics I'm pretty sure that you're well aware of what you're doing and what for.
They see themselves as heroes but that doesn't mean their goal isn't to cause terror.

papper bullets
twice the threatning power of a real bullet!

In other words, if you do anything we don't like we can kick you off, no questions asked. Then intimidate you with Federal Air Marshals so you don't retaliate.
Fair enough when air security is concerned. No one wants to die aboard a thin metal tube for anothers' religious/political beliefs. But when do we count the line as crossed in regards to harassment and over-control?
I guess when all the conspiracy spinning, fear mongering, and political subterfuge stops....... ..... :v: gonna be a looooong wait!
If the attendant had simply spoken to the guy in question, calmed the nearby passenger and offered a seat-change, then the whole ordeal would have been avoided.
Looks like the voynich manuscript
[QUOTE=A B.A. Survivor;46041276]So, does this mean the terrorists are winning?[/QUOTE]More than that, the terrorists have won, collected their medals, given their acceptance speech, and now are at home getting smashed to celebrate. While watching the world tear itself apart around them.
Also, its a good thing they got this scumbag. Think of who he could have harmed with those DRAWINGS. God, this is something I'd expect out of a US elementary school.

The guy next to him sounds like the biggest bastard ever. Sounds like he didn't even want to confront the guy, he just passive aggressively flagged down the flight attendant and starting complaining about the dangerous words we was writing.
"Look what he's writing"
That flake should be the one thrown off the plane. Sheltered idiot
Little offended tattle tale baby
