I guess the frightened passenger was just a good little Trumpkin on the lookout for suspicious facial hair.

DALLAS -- It's no secret some people discriminate against skin color, size, or even age. But... what about beards? Well, Mark French found himself in a hairy situation when he tried to board an Alaska Airlines flight at DFW Airport Wednesday night. He claims he was kicked off the because a passenger complained he looked "Arabic and scary" -- that's according to his sister's Facebook post.

French told NewsFix he was on a business call in the waiting area when a woman told him to put his phone away.

Before he knew it, he claims he was approached by security, told he couldn't board the plane, and informed he couldn't fly until he was clean shaven.

Here's a pic of the "beard" that got him banned:

French says he did get a call from the airlines' customer support with an offer to let him re-book his return flight at the same price. But French feels that doesn't make up for the humiliation of being targeted as a terrorist because he didn't shave.

But the government can put anyone on a no fly list and not let them buy a gun and that's not a problem?

Should Muslims on a no-fly list be allowed to buy guns?

I don't like the idea of people on a government terrorist list owning guns, regardless of their race or religion. But as long as the government no fly list has no due process yes I'm ok from a legal perspective with a Muslim on the list buying a gun.
