Flying While Iraqi ; The Sad Truth Of The State Of The States
Three men onboard an American Airlines flight from San Diego to Chicago were viewed with suspicion by fellow passengers as they began to speak Arabic. So much so that a mother caused the plane to return to the gate and be let off.
By this time it was too late to takeoff due to the aiport's night flight curfew. The flight was rescheduled for the morning.
Tell The Truthiness ; A UK European MP who has been viewed with suspicion while travelling, who is Asian in appearance has dubbed this 'travelling whilst Asian', perhaps since the men on this flight were Iraq citizens travelling to train soldiers at a US Army camp, the phrase, 'travelling whilst Iraqi' should be coined?
Does everyone who boards an aircraft as a passenger leave all common sense on the ground?
