I have had this conversation with several people in the last few months..
Basically my position is this.. The airplanes are operated by PRIVATE
COMPANIES!!!! They are NOT government entities.. ALL private organizations
posess the right to refuse service to ANYONE they choose, right?

If I walk into your restaurant, and you think I smell funny or might cause a
scene because of how I am dressed or whatever, you can ask me to leave and
refuse service, right? I dont see how a privately owned aircraft, which the
PIC is the companies representative, is any different!

And as far as refusing service to mid-easterners?? FUCK EM!! Every time I have
flown I look for them on the plane.. You can BET if I see anyone wearing a rag
on their head with a long beard or something, you can be sure I will say
something to the captain..

Racist? Biggot?? maybe..Too bad! Welcome to America, NOW GO HOME!!

For those too darn lazy to click on the link:   "WASHINGTON
(Reuters) -

Civil rights groups filed lawsuits against four major airlines on Tuesday,

alleging discrimination against five men who were removed from flights
after

the Sept. 11 attacks because they looked Middle Eastern."
