Hindu Man Denied Flight on JetBlue During Ramadan

For god sake to JetBlue & TSA!!! Leave the muslim alone! There is no reason to kick him out of the plane.
Let bashes on the thread.
As they patted me down for the fourth time, a female TSA agent asked me for my baggage claim ticket. I handed it to her, and she told me that a woman from JetBlue corporate security needed to ask me some questions as well. I was a bit surprised, but agreed. After the pat-down, the JetBlue representative walked in and cooly [sic] introduced herself by name.

Here's his first person account of what happened to him that day. He tested positive for explosives and that started the chain of events. He was able to fly that day, albeit on a different airline.

But as there is already a thread about this A great (long) story about a false positive ETD gone wrong I will ask the mods to merge.

The South Asian DHS guy speaking Hindi was shocked that a Bengali-American doesn't speak Hindi? Sounds like DHS and the FBI have an ignorance problem.
