I'm only terrified when I have to do the math.

Maybe he was writing radical symbols. So she logically assumed that he was a radical, and prolly the "bomb throwing" kind!

I'm an artist, and I decided to draw a picture of the border control at JFK one year when I went on my regular holiday to the US... three people came up to me and demanded to know what I was doing.

After listening to so many news stories online about this event, it's made me realize that I have to learn as much advanced math as possible so as to not be dragged behind by public ignorance. I'm barely halfway done with 4th grade math on Khan Academy, so it's a long way from what the man on the plane was doing, but I'm getting there.

She's not wrong...

I mean he was using ARABIC NUMERALS (the numbers of terrorists and Muslims) instead of the European ROMAN NUMERALS!
