This kind of thing should not happen:

Arab-Americans kicked off NWA flight
Associated Press


Published Sep 21 2001

SALT LAKE CITY -- Three Arab-Americans from Utah
have been kicked off a flight from Minneapolis because the
other passengers refused to fly with them.

The three men live in Salt Lake City and were on their way
home from Philadelphia Thursday when they were booted from
a connecting flight in Minneapolis.

The men decline to give their names, but say they had
undergone an extensive security check before being allowed to
board the Northwest Airlines flight. But other passengers
refused to fly as long as they stayed on board. Northwest says it
had no choice. The airline says under government security rules
is has to ``re-accommodate'' passengers if their actions or
presence make a majority of the other passengers
uncomfortable.

The men say they feel depressed and very discriminated against.

They flew home on a Delta flight.
