The Verdict is completely absurd and should be reduced on appeal. In light of the happenings on September 11th, I don't know how a Jury would justify such a verdict. What a bunch of Dimwits.
Are Southwest Employees going to stop engaging Muslim passengers acting suspiciously for fear of being sued. Now everyone's safety is at risk.
What a disgrace!!

That's an odd assumption. Iranian-Americans are a mix of Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Zoroastrian, and Bahai. Given her name I seriously doubt she's Muslim.
If she's not wearing a "I'm a Muslim" T-Shirt, you have no way of knowing what religion she subscribes to.
