(AP) -- A Delta Air Lines flight from Atlanta to Newark, N.J. was diverted Sunday after two men were seen huddled together and speaking a foreign language in the back of the plane, officials said. Officials at Charlotte/Douglas International Airport initially received reports that the men were trying to break into the cockpit, said Aviation Director Jerry Orr. It turned out to be two Jewish men praying together in the back of the plane, he said. "By the time the plane landed here and our officer got on, the two gentlemen were back in their seats," Orr said. "It was a lot about nothing." The plane landed in Charlotte around noon and departed for Newark about 2:30 p.m., Orr said. The two men were rebooked on a later flight, and were "bewildered but not angry," Orr said. I say: Living in fear sucks. But that's where we'll be until Islamic terrorism is completely under control. Which will most likely amount to wiping it out. I'm happy to read that these men took it all in good grace.

Those with vivid imaginations and a high school comprehension of the stored energy in a tank of gasoline: may drive scared. Or not. Why then? should any one of us, "put on hold next.. life" ? (and that means, all which is an essential ingredient to life being - one with the full range of emotions available) If you are congratulating the two men for "understanding" the absurd! while condoning the asinine mindset which led to this stupidity - thus, accepting it as the new 'normal' (?) Then please don't presume that everyone lives with the same attitude. I don't know about you, but I'm going to die. Not even the next full breath is ever guaranteed. I hope I shall have the presence of mentation not to squander final seconds in bitching about, 'the probabilities.. and how I got screwed' (??) Enjoy while you can, Ashton

When people are trying to kill you, you can either live in fear, or live for a very short time. The choice is yours. I know I'll die someday. I'm just not in a hurry.

Don't want to end up like the proverbial frog on the skillet now, do we?
