Airlines cater to irrational passengers
mercredi 9 mars 2016 à 01:00"My friend was texting prayers. If this is suspicious, the terrorists have won."
The basic injustice here is kicking a passenger off a flight because some other passenger is irrationally upset. If airlines made it clear that they would not do this, and told the irrational passengers "You can leave the plane if you like, but we see no reason to punish that person," they would learn to control themselves and there would be no problem.
I think it is also an injustice to set a standard that passengers should show all their secrets in the vain hope of being allowed to travel, or that a much-used bible can prove they are good people. In the US, at least, Christian terrorists are right up there in violence with the Muslim terrorists.
