Yes, the airline was profiling, and that stinks for those at the receiving end. But let's not forget that the CIA is currently examining an unexploded pantibomb that's invisible to the X-ray machines, and likely to unspecialized manual examination as well, and there have been females with Muslim names who've flown hither and yon in pursuit of jihad. And the family were delayed only half an hour before getting on the very same airplane and going on their way. Instead of being mad about being profiled, shouldn't they be furious that others are creating this situation in the name of their shared religion? |
