From aclu.org/jarrar: Raed Jarrar is an Iraqi-born architect and human rights activist who was barred from boarding a JetBlue flight at John F. Kennedy Airport for wearing a t-shirt that read "We Will Not Be Silent" in English and Arabic. On August 9, 2007, the ACLU filed a lawsuit against JetBlue and a Transportation Security Administration (TSA) official charging that they illegally discriminated against Raed based solely on the message on his t-shirt and his ethnicity. Learn more about Raed's case, free speech and racial profiling at www.aclu.org/jarrar.

You are of course aware, that Raed is a human rights activist and the t-shirt bore the slogan of the Anti-fascist German group, The White Rose, that had its leading members beheaded by the Gestapo?

Police brutality is alive and well in America. The police beat up a girl at Reagan National Airport in DC. They assaulted this girl and gave her a serious brain injury and made her entire body black and blue. Then they arrested HER and charged her with a made up crime to cover up the police brutality. The airport police and TSA are supposed to be there to protect us from terrorists, not beat up women.

stupid idiots ACLU: We misread US v Miller, and we're sticking by our incorrect interpretation of the 2nd Amendment.Excerpt:The ACLU interprets the Second Amendment as a collective right. Therefore, we disagree with the Supreme Court's decision in D.C. v. Heller.

The airline, JetBlue in this case, has almost carte blanche authority to kick someone off the plane if they get a "bad vibe" from him. Why someone who obviously speaks Arabic should not have a T-shirt with Arabic writing on it is something of a mystery. I suppose they figured it would make the passengers nervous and cause a disturbance. This is odd, considering they don't blink an eye at T-shirts and tattoos with all kinds of violent slogans and depictions. Hysteria.

it's arrogant people like you that allow the bush administration to strip people off of their rights. 9-11 was an inside job, now this is a wake up call for you
