Muslim family removed from AirTran flight for "safest seat" remark

"The conversation, as we were walking through the plane trying to find our seats, was just about where the safest place in an airplane is," Sahin said. "We were (discussing whether it was safest to sit near) the wing, or the engine or the back or the front, but that's it. We didn't say anything else that would raise any suspicion." The conversation did not contain the words "bomb," "explosion," "terror" or other words that might have aroused suspicion, Irfan said.

Another case of "flying while Muslim."

US court: Monitoring Muslims was constitutional

A federal appeals court says it was constitutional for the United States to require visitors from two dozen Arab and Muslim countries and North Korea to register with immigration authorities.

In other words, it's okay to "profile" based on race, religion, appearance, point of origin, and any other "suspicious" attributes one might have - as long as the person profiled is Arab or Muslim, of course. North Koreans were also included, but the clear targets of this policy were and still are Muslims, even though the policy has supposedly been phased out.
