So what are peoples thoughts?
Some passengers complained that 6 middle eastern men were acting "suspicious" before getting on a plane. So the airline took them off, they were detained for over 7 hrs then cleared.
Now they are taking US airways to court and they also want to take the passengers to court. but first with the airlines .
So house republicans (and dems) passed a bill that will protect passengers if they report "suspicious" activity from being sued.
Judging by what happened to these 6 guys it seems like suspicious activity is being muslim and speaking arabic. so this bill is good, let's encourage racial profiling.

and One of the vigilant passengers said that one of the muslims said the name "sadam hussein" while on the plane.

too funny mrbrian.....:D:D:D
possibly more to the story.
It is unfortunate they were removed, but if other people in the airline industry say US airways acted correctly, I tend to side with the people who have the experience. My guess is this is an isolated incident. People aren't allowed to travel on planes prob on a daily basis and it's usually behavior that's the cause.

also a dangerous one. have they given any explanation as to what they wanted these seatbelt extenders for?
Perhaps.
I haven't found an explanation or a reason why they asked for the extenders.

if grandma nanna was speaking in tongues and people wanted her removed I'd say people are paranoid.
but this.....justified.
anyone remember what happen last time a bunch of muslim dudes acted suspiciously on a plane?
6 muslim, 6 jewish, 6 white... does it really matter??? they were acting suspicious. I'm sure the airline would have acted the same no matter what the ethnicity of the passangers was.

The airline might have, if they had received a complaint to begin with.

yes it matters. but if 6 men of any race acted suspiciously the same action should be taken.

How would you know six white men for example even belonged to the same group? Do you really pay that much attention to everyone on the plane? Or do people only pay attention to the brown Muslim men who wear a turbans?

maybe they are sitting together, or sat together at the gate, boarded together. its not hard to figure out sometimes
you know, im not racist or prejudiced, but im sorry, that is the way it goes. if im on a plane im more nervous about 6 muslims talking about saddam than 6 white guys talking about their 401k. if im on the nyc subway, im more nervous about 6 young black men being rowdy and talking shit than i am about the asian family of 4 sitting behind them. that's the way it goes. if i meet a muslim, do i assume they're a terrorist? no of course not, nor do i treat them any differently from anyone else. if i meet a black man do i assume he's a gangster? no, of course not, and i will not treat them different from anyone else. but when im out there in public in various situation where certain people are more prone to cause problems for me, then i make myself aware of that. when i go to football games, im wary of drunken white guys with frat shirts.
when was the last time a white man hijacked an airplane? an asian? a black man?
Perhaps.
I think people will pay more attention to people who look different, especially if these people are Middle Eastern and about to board a plane. All it takes is a racist or a scared person to see suspicious behaviour, behaviour they wouldn't normally classify as 'suspicious' or wouldn't even notice if it were "western looking" people who acted in this way.

I disagree. if people are acting suspicious on a plane, it will be noticed. no matter who you are.
