If you are repeatedly questioned about your credientials (in this case, 5 times by the AA captain), wouldn't you appear nervous and then lose temper too? </font>
Did you even bother to read the captain's statement???

If you are a government employee, packing a piece, and you do this for a living, and you are trying to board a commercial airliner, then the answer should be every single one of them should complete the paperwork to the captain's 100% satisfaction.

Unfortunately, it has escalated to the point of needless lawsuit. It won't help the racial relations in this country.</font>
So it would help race relations if AA simply buckled under paid this guy off just because he happened to be of Arab descent, even though the AA captain was completely justified in his actions? Give me a break!
