So i was in the airport on friday and i saw a sign that said IF YOU SEE SOMETHING SAY SOMETHING and i thought about it for just a moment and decided that if i would see something i would not say anything. After all the trouble i they put me through they can deal with it themselves. I’m not on their team anymore, huh?

December 4, 2011 2:24 am at 2:24 am #832279stanleycParticipantDoesnt that ad refer to reporting if you see a cop get shot or something? I would thing it to be more appropriate to say something when you see something
December 4, 2011 2:35 am at 2:35 am #832280cinderellaParticipantstanleyc- it’s not only referring to a cop getting shot.It’s telling you to report anything suspicious looking like an abandoned bag or something like that.
Actually, I was once in Penn station and there was a backpack sitting there for like 15 minutes with no apparent owner. I went over to the nearest cop and told him about it. (It was right after the whole Times Square bombing scare so I was paranoid…) It ended up being nothing but you never know. And better safe than sorry, right?

They were not amused.

Reporting suspicious things is an obligation as part of society.

Well I’m not suggesting that everyone should do this. Most people are not as psychologically strong as me, but if you can handle the outcome and look at it with the right perspective, it might help you with your appreciation of your dignity by not giving in to their demands. If they were on my team it wouldn’t be a demand, but we’re on different teams now. Let them deal with their own mistakes and I’m not going to feel guilty; there will be enough people feeling guilty about what they perceived they could have done to stop it that they dont need me to pitch in with my own guilt.
