#1 Southwest Airlines has a fairly decent recent record of kicking off anyone being a jackhole. Fact is, at the end of the day that plane belongs to the captain and crew.

Help..what the crap is experimental psychology?

#2 Experimental psychology means they're testing theories either on rats or on psych students, swksvolFF. If she's a grad student she gets both to carry a clipboard and ask the prewritten questions and be on the receiving end.

#3 Does that include receiving end of riot stick, taser, pepper spray and .40 caliber slug?

#4 Thank you TW, I guess that makes sense, but my money is on the rats figuring it out first.

#6 Most psychologists can't do the Stats, so they just make it up. Fake science that makes the AGW peddlers look consistent.

#7 In my experience, so does everyone else, BP.

Just the kind of thing Irum Abbasi was doing on that Southwest Airlines plane.
Seriously, the infamous Milgram experiments were experimental psychology, measuring how people behaved in realities they thought were real. His book "Obedience to Authority" should be required of every high school graduate, but scarcely anyone is aware of his work. IIRC, the only experimental subject who behaved using common sense had previously survived a Nazi concentration camp.

#9 Yes, I would have a difficult time believing that, with SW Airlines' service area, that this would be the first time a crew member came across a south asian in hajib, so I think that she was doing something which made enough of the crew nervous enough to do something about it.

#10 Tell her to sue her co-religionists. I hate it that the KKK has made people wary of Southerners. I have even been accused of being a member and denying it as ALL white people from Alabama are members. It's unfortunate that this happens but is understandable.
