You'd do well not to take the initial reports in which people brazenly lied on camera at face value. It was clearly far more than just "1 or 2".
Do you want the pilots discretion to head off potential problems to be hamstrung?
Do you expect some sort of judicial review, sorting through a hundred plus passengers, in a mass chaos situation, presenting witnesses and evidence prior to flight?
If anyone was unjustly removed from the flight they can pursue damages, but the issue here is whether some latent "nazis" at Lufthansa, in a spasm of WWII nostalgia amongst the staff and supervisors, decided to very publicly attack Judaism. Absurd.
