Lets talk about taking responsibility for actions before blaming the world for discriminating against you.
Of course this is a ridicules thread but hey, you started it.

One thing you may not be aware of: A lot of us FlyerTalkers KNOW each other. That's right, we've met IN PERSON. Check out the Community forum. bhatnasx has some credibility not only because of posting history, but also because of participation in many FlyerTalk get-togethers. And how many FlyerTalkers do YOU know? Be very careful about bashing other posters here. This is NOT just an anonymous internet BB. It's a community. Many of us are acquaintances and even friends. That is part of how we judge others' believability.

And even though KathyWdrf lives in SF, it seems as though I see her more often than friends who live just a few miles from me. I've actually had KathyWdrf over to my humble abode.

Thanks for the support - I've written a letter which I will be mailing this week to the local newspapers (DCA & PIT) as well as the corporate officers of the involved companies. I will fill out the web submission forms of that were provided above. Thanks for the advice & support, everyone.
As for philly2d, I read a bunch of his other posts on this board & from what I've seen, I personally am not too concerned with too much about what he has to say. Thanks for having my back, KathyWdrf & Alysia.

Just to establish a little perspective here. PA being my "home" state, I am certainly not happy to hear this type of thing. But one would do well to remember that PA has the highest number of known hate group in the USA. So I tend to believe our FT friend.
As for the "High Tech Lynching" one could argue that the "Lynching" would be warranted based solely on poor customer service, neverminding the racism allegations.

Yes--I agree, unfortunately...
I lived in PIT until I was 37 years old. Having relatives that reside in that vast space between PIT and PHL, I agree with something I read once...
Pennsylvania is basically Pittsbugh and Philadelphia with Alabama in between.....

Wow, it's a shame that this should happen to any of us FTers. We provide a lot of business to the airlines, hotels and airport establishments. We should not have to tolearte this level of nonsense from those who feel the need to refuse service because they have a power trip.
Good luck with your case and let us know how it turns out. In the meantime, I hope they supersize her pink slip.

The lady probably just performs a random selection (TSA style) for anybody getting off of a US Airways flight. The planes are so dirty that most of us are carrying germs off of the plane!
Wash your hands and take a chill pill...........this is blown way out of proportion. I sense that there's alot more to this story and our "innocent", hungry FTer.....maybe you should contact the FBI too!

Where in the world did this 'supervisor' come from, and what is she doing supervising anyone at all? Let 'em have it, both barrels, and let us know how we can jump on the wagon.
