What do you think? A woman of Pakistani descent - who has been an American citizen for 28 years - was barred from boarding a US Airways flight in West Virginia (she was ultimately heading to Michigan). She says she was detained and interrogated for 9 hours, after security found a bottle of water and some face cream in her bag. The thing is, says the suit, plenty of other people did the same thing but they weren’t interrogated - they were just told to dump the stuff. Meanwhile, during the interrogation, the feds were busy searching her apartment. This is where it gets interesting: the next day, an FBI agent drove her to the airport, so he could explain to US Airways that the woman had been cleared of any charges, but — the airline wouldn’t let her redeem her ticket (and had no comment on the suit, according to the Jackson Citizen Patriot). Then the FBI guy drives her to Marion, Ohio, where she was met by her mother and driven to Michigan. Now, according to Mapquest, that’s a 3-and-a-half hour drive. Have you ever heard of the FBI giving that kind of service before? Strikes me as unusual. |
