The man that was removed from the flight was released and cleared to fly. Ultimately, it seems as if the pilot decided that the passenger's being removed from the flight wasn't justified; and the governmental authorities released and cleared him. The pilot decided to fly the passenger. If the removal was justified in the mind of the pilot, it didn't show in the results of waiting for the passenger to be cleared and flying the passenger on the flight as usual.

Hopefully this is one of those pilots who has the moral compass to protect individuals' civil liberties even when faced with a paranoid vocal mob that would deny the liberties and humanity of "the other". Either way, I am pleased by the pilot's action of flying cleared passengers.

Racism causes bad things. No pretending involved. Do some here believe that racism doesn't cause bad things? Who knows. What is known is that some people fancy some sort of racism, as is evidenced by the pro-racist profiling mob.
