Arab Kid Removed from Flight for Talking to Uncle on Phone in Arabic

People were suspicious of the San Bernadino shooters, but said nothing out of fear of being labeled racist.

A man who has been working in the area said he noticed a half-dozen Middle Eastern men in the area in recent weeks, but decided not to report anything since he did not wish to racially profile those people.

How the hell would this have helped? What would he have said to authorities? "Help, I've noticed more brown people recently!"? How do you get from that observation to one specific couple are planning to go on a shooting spree?

And I highly doubt the woman could differentiate arabic phrases. It probably all sounded like gibberish, and in her fear made herself believe it sounded threatening.

Neighbors say San Bernardino shooters were 'acting suspiciously'

• Syed Farook and wife Tashfeen Malik were 'receiving packages' and 'working at strange hours in their garage' according to their neighbors

• But neighbors feared reporting them in case it was merely racial profiling

It doesn't take much to launch a preliminary investigation. This information could have been enough to alert the FBI and go from there.

You didn't answer my question, but I don't like this world you seem to be advocating -- neighbors becoming informants on neighbors for the heinous crime of *gasp* using UPS!



What exactly is suspicious about "receiving packages"? This, to me, just sounds like hindsight bias. There was no real way for those neighbors to predict that shooting spree.

Receiving an out of the ordinary number of packages, in conjunction with larger than normal numbers of Middle Eastern men coming and going, while working strange hours throughout the night in a garage is something that is worth mentioning to authorities.

Of course it would be impossible to conclude "shooting spree" with any specificity to those clues, but reporting those behaviors puts them on the radar of authorities. That still may not do anything, but it also can and could have turned up basic information for the FBI. Getting subscriber information for phones is very simple and could have tied their numbers to known terrorists. It would have given further justification for doing something like a wiretap, undercover operations, or searches that would have uncovered straw purchased weapons or pipe bombs.

That known terrorists though? I thought they were a lone wolf group with no ties to Isis.
