• Human beings scared of their own shadow – more at 11. What happens when a guy from Nigeria flies to Detroit and is caught nearly commit­ting a terror­ist act, hangs out in the bathroom for an hour, and is stopped only by his own incom­pe­tence (and a brave Dutch­man)? He gets caught. And what happens when a second guy from Nigeria takes the exact same flight two days later under almost identi­cal circum­stances, and also heads to the bathroom for an hour? We freak out and overre­act. Human nature. source
