There have been numerous accounts of Muslim Americans being kicked off of flights due to spurious reports from scaredy cat passengers. To deny this is to deny reality. Konono will go to any lengths to deny that any bigotry exists in the modern world.

I was in Doha airport recently and there was this arsehole kicking up a fuss because a security woman from Qatar Airlines wouldn't let his missus on board unless she lifted her veil so that her passport photo could be checked. I bet you'd call that racial profiling as well, wouldn't you??
I have never denied bigotry exists. And I have not denied it here. I am simply saying that the facts as have been shown do not necessarily mean there was bigotry here. Don't sink to Legion Troll's level.
For the devout, under such circumstances, there should be other means of personal identification- such as fingerprint checking.
Until such enlightened times there should be a private room wherein veils can be lifted in the presence of female staff. It ain't that hard to keep eveybody happy- unless you're a racist arsehole looking to pick on somebody.
