About This Video
From the ACLU's site...The American Civil Liberties Union and New York Civil Liberties Union today filed a federal civil rights lawsuit charging that a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) official and JetBlue Airways illegally discriminated against an American resident based solely on the Arabic message on his t-shirt and his ethnicity.JetBlue and the TSA official, identified as "Inspector Harris," would not let Raed Jarrar board his flight at John F. Kennedy Airport until he agreed to cover his t-shirt, which read "We Will Not Be Silent" in English and Arabic script. According to the complaint, Harris told Jarrar that it is impermissible to wear an Arabic shirt to an airport and equated it to a "person wearing a t-shirt at a bank stating, I am a robber.'"

2 years ago 0 + -That's a great video. It is quite sad that in order to feel more secure and more free to do things safely, people think they need to become less free and more regulated through bureaucratic conditioning. Basically, if terrorists never did anything to us ever again, they will already have won because they've affected our daily lives.
