On an AirTran flight from Washington to Florida, a group of 8 Muslims were forced off a plane after a passenger reported a "suspicious" comment made by fellow passenger, Kashif Irfan. The remark said to Irfan's wife and brother was,
"Wow, the jets are right next to my window."
After the flight crew was informed, all 104 passengers were removed from the plane. After every passenger was cleared by the FBI, only the group of 8 were prohibited from re-boarding the flight and forced to buy a flight on a different carrier.
Unfortunately, this story proves racial profiling is alive and well. Paranoia persists and it is down right ugly and unjust.
