"In a glimpse into what the future might hold for Asian or Arab-looking air travellers in Europe in the wake of new security fears, two men variously described as of ``Asian'' or ``Middle Eastern'' appearance were forced off a United Kingdom-bound flight from Spain after fellow passengers refused to fly alleging that the two may be terrorists."

"Passengers on a Manchester-bound flight have described how two men were removed from the plane because other travellers thought they were speaking Arabic.

[...]

"All the passengers were then taken off and the plane and all the luggage was swept for explosives. Three hours later the passengers boarded again and the plane took off without the pair."

I have a solution to my water problem on the 5th of September. Tomorrow I'm going to inform my psychiatrist that I HAVE to stop the lithium. I cannot fly to Birmingham in my current state and my 'job' is at risk if I back out now. Think that'll be enough to get me off the stuff?
