A: The simple answer is that you can’t tell if someone on your plane is a terrorist. People are so suspicious of anyone that looks like they might be of Middle Eastern descent, but the truth is terrorists come in all shapes, sizes, and colors. Sleeper cells of both foreign and native terrorists exist in almost every country.
So, what should you do? Suspect everyone!
If someone is acting suspiciously, or even looking at you funny, alert the authorities. Sure, this could lead to some awkward situations on your flight if you are wrong, but you can sit smug in your tiny little seat knowing that you have done your part to protect the plane, your fellow passengers, and the world.
