Police: 'Suspicious activity' on Chicago-bound plane was just someone watching news on phone

My tablet is funky and not wanting to copy the article.

They were removed from the plane out of fear since they "looked middle eastern" and were watching "ISIS video", aka the news, on their phone

once I am on board.

I dont know what the odds are of any of these things causing my death, but I pretty much assume from the minute I get on the plane till the minute it lands at my destination, that something horrible is gonna happen.

So far so good, though.
