"I see no problem with the aircraft Captains decision. My understanding, at least here in America is that the aircraft commander has the final say over who can and cannot fly on his aircraft."

Yeah right. If a United pilot tried this, holy hell would break loose. It would be front page news, and the pilot would never fly for an American carrier again.

I guess the Russians are ahead of us on this one.

I quite agree that it would cause an uproar but I am equally sure that if the Captain of the aircraft believes that a passenger or group of passengers presents a danger to the aircraft and the passengers for which he is responsible, he is well within his legal right to have them deplaned.

They won't let some mujis fly on a plane, but they help the Mullahs build nukes. I'll never quite understand the Bear. Shamil Basayev and folks like Dudayev should have made it very clear to the Russians what Islam is all about.
