re: #60 Occasional Reader

Of course there is. I personally know a guy who was taken off a flight and questioned because a hysterical passenger thought he looked… funny. His family is originally from India, and he’s Hindu. But he, you know…. looked funny. Yes, that’s an overreaction, and yes, it does happen

Yes, it does happen a lot, that was sort of my point. We’re going with false positives. If granny says something about if man was meant to fly, and they pull her off and grill her for six hours, then I’m not upset of some bearded and hijabed types are pulled off for similar comments.
