D.C. Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton says she wants a hearing on airline practices after nine Muslims were booted off an AirTran Airways flight on New Year's Day.

Norton said airlines are allowing “amateurs” to make serious decisions, and that Congress has an obligation to address the incidents.
Damned if they do...damned if they don’t...next time there’s an incident...and there will be...the airlines will be sued for not doing their due diligence. We’re a Society with a death wish.
Remind her of the warnings unheeded of 911, because of the ACLU anti profiling stance.
I know, how about we put a Congressman on every flight to screen passengers. I’ll volunteer Ms. Norton for the first one.
Were they thrown off the plane because they are muslims, or because they made remarks that would get anybody else arrested? Throwing more muslims who make stupide remarks about security off airplanes would be a good practice to institute. The sooner the better.
Hell! The dumbass voters in this country are doing the same damn thing.
My thoughts exactly. Sigh.
“Norton said airlines are allowing “amateurs” to make serious decisions, and that Congress has an obligation to address the incidents.”
As opposed to an expert in all matters like Ms. Norton.
“Del. Norton wants hearing on airline practices”
Yeah, well I want hearings on congressional practices!
Honestly, we elected a guy who thinks it important to dress like a thug.
We allow ignorant, “amature” Congress critters to make serious decisions - some more damaging than asking a passenger to please leave the plane.
More details about the remark and any other events on the plane are needed.
The last thing we need is more government interference.
These people (the ruling class) may be this country’s biggest threat.
Yeah we wouldn’t want to offend any muslims making jokes about airplane security on an airplane full of passengers.
Exactly what I was thinking.
If the airlines err on the side of passenger safety, I am all in favor of the errors.
As long as an air marshal is available to move to said flight and start taking out terrorists if needed, I am OK with letting “unthreatening” muslims aboard.
Such as grossly unqualified amateur Illinois senators somehow fleecing the people and getting elected President?
It’s not like you get second chances on an airplane. Safety first and last.
These folks were supposedly headed for a religious retreat in Florida? Like the one in Ft. Lauderdale?
Until the Unknown Moderates start howling at their own and denouncing the violence, they are ALL suspects, as far as I’m concerned.
Nobody’s freaking out about Quaker passengers.
