Eric...You fail to grasp the main reason for wanting to talk to these two. If their only action was being "Middle Eastern" we would not be discussing this event. I've yet to see the news or authorities plastering photos of every person of Middle Eastern decent on the airways asking for the publics help.

Reason #1 Suspicious activity.
Reason #2 Profile (Male between the age of 25-45)
Reason #3 Middle Eastern

If a Non-Middle Eastern male had been observed as #1 and #2 I suspect the authorities would want to speak with them as well. #3 just adds to the urgency seeing we've had "Specific Treats" from groups of "Middle Eastern" decent.
