> why me? Was it something I said on Twitter or Facebook? Did I just look at him the wrong way without realising?

Yeah, don't think too far - it's probably your skin color that makes you a terrrist.

Well... It'd be hard to get much whiter than me! I guess that's my point though, that maybe this guy wasn't targeted but merely a victim of what happens every day. Being associated with the Guardian he'd have known his rights and might've had the confidence to demand them. Not sure which is worse, though.
