Terrorists on the LIRR???

I saw the most disgusting display of brainwashed media junkie conspiracy-theorists in action last night on the LIRR. a normally dressed middle eastern looking man was seated in the car I came into and was being harassed by Conductors of the train, and the surrounding civilians, he was being humiliated and yelled at because someone got upset that he didn't put his bag on the seat next to him, but chose the overhead rack instead. they assumed of course that it was a..i dunno.a.BOMB? and were quoting the line repeatedly "if you see something- say something!! it's not our fault!" trying to justify what they had done when they realized how ridiculous it was, and that this man was only going home like everyone else. it made me so sick to my stomach....i wanted to rip the eyeballs out of these twenty-something girls and the Conductors that ALLOWED the behaviour to go on "hey buddy..we're just doin' OUR job". this hysteria is appalling and made me really unproud to be american..people wonder why the rest of the world can't stand Americans? I mean the guy was wearing clothes from the Gap even..unbelievable!
