Why would I react like that? Muslims don't lose their right to board a plane just because of the actions of a few individuals. The vast majority of all muslims are not any more evil than you or me.

Dear if that happens with me I would stay calm. They are human beings too. I understand where are you coming from. Unfortunately, there are lots of militant groups in Pakistan and in other Muslim country. But it does not make every Muslim a terrorist. These kind of questions also leave some negative impact on good Muslims.
This world need an open discussion about the role of religion. I believe the misinterpretation of the re legion leads to many problems. I know in many Madarsas they teach hate against other re legions. Those innocent kids who has potential to be a good doctor, lawyer, scientist have been pushed into silly war against humanity.
This world could be a better place if the world leaders can keep an eye on these Madarsas and make sure these kids gets better education to serve the humanity to to kill innocent human beings

Thousands of people fly with Pakistani people all the time and nothing happens. To react like an idiot is to only help create more terrorists. My brother is half Filipino, but looks like Osama and when he flys he gets dirty looks all the time. Stereotyping doesn't do anything, but hurt the innocent.
Plus terrorist groups understand that stupid Americans stereotype, so that's why they hire non-Arabic looking people now.
What if rental truck places stopped renting moving trucks to white people because they thought they might be the next Oklahoma City bomber. Remember those terrorists? They were white.

overweight through whose definition? in case you employ the body Mass Index, then i'd wager that more effective than 50% of all passengers on any flight will be seen overweight. in case you want them to pay for 2 seats, then they'd occupy 2 seats, thereby reducing the passenger means through 1/2. not a real smart concept now that the airways have between the utmost overbooking expenses of all time.

LOL!
While everyone else is voting I would....follow one as he go's off to the loo. Rush him as he opens the door, tie and gag him, slap him around a little (let him know who's boss) then flush him down the super loud loo somewhere over the Atlantic and then wait.................when the other realises his mate is missing he'll come looking for him and then I'll tie him and gag him, slap him around a little and then the super loud loo will take another and drop him off over the Atlantic. No need to vote them off in the end.
Sorry this is so ridiculous, but this is the result of working 17 hours and it being 3.45am...without caffeine or alcohol...I'm gonna go and have a Newcastle! goodnight

Uh, nobody "looks" like a terrorist. That's just the thing, you never see it coming. And freaking out over the way someone looks or dresses is fear-mongering. Living in the area I live in, Muslims are so common I probably wouldn't even notice anything different.

I think its totally unfair to judge people simply coz they have a certain kind of dress,have beards, or share the same ethnicity as a few misguided fools who give Islam a bad name...Would you judge all Christians on the way that Hitler acted? I think not...
And if you look at most of the guys who've been arrested, half of them were clean shaven with a 'modern' sense of clothing.
Besides, think abt it, if you wanna carry out some kinda attack, would you dress in a way that attracts attention???
And finally...if we all adopt this attitude, then we're letting the likes of bin Ladin and Zarqawi win...

Only if the person is a PIA and is upsetting the rest of the passengers even before the door closes!
