Scareorism



Scareorism is like terrorism, only instead of being terrorised, you're just scared. A few days ago, this man was sitting in the seat next to me on my flight from the US to Moscow and Moscow to Singapore. On the first leg of the trip I didn't think much of him. He was a little bit "ooghy," but not overly scary. It wasn't until we got to Moscow that this man scared the $#!? out of me!

While I was in line waiting to have my passport checked in Moscow, I overheard a conversation between this scareorist and a Russian airport official. I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but I started listening the moment I heard her say, "So you lost your passport?" He said, "No." She said, "Oh, you don't *have* a passport?" At that point I was done being checked and I had to walk through the double doors or I'd arise suspicion myself. I'm not sure how that turned out, but it sounded like I was flying next to some dude who didn't have a passport.

My question is this -- how on earth did the dude get on the airplane if he didn't have a passport? And didn't we just read about some dude from Amsterdam trying to blow up an entire airplane with his exploding underwear? I kept thinking I hope this woman gave this man an undies check.

I'm not sure how it all turned out, but the scareorist was allowed back on the airplane headed to Singapore, and lucky me, he was seated right beside me. I was ready though. I took this picture the moment we got on the airplane and I saved it to my phone with some notes in case his underwear should suddenly burst into flames or what-not.
