Imams not suing flight passengers (”Flyin’ Imams”)

Six imams removed from a U.S. Airways plane said they would not sue the passengers whose concerns led them to being kicked off the flight.
In federal court Tuesday, the attorney for the imams said, “We don’t contemplate naming any private passenger as a defendant.”
After the November flight, the imams sued the airport, the airline and ‘John Does,’ which left open the possibility of suing anonymous passengers.
The attorney for one of the passengers says the imams’ offer comes only as congress is about to give immunity to those reporting suspicious behavior.
“The offer is only made after congress passes the immunity provision with the threat of assessing fees and costs against parties suing those making reports in good faith,” Gerry Nolting said.
U.S. Airways and the Minneapolis- St. Paul airport will ask a judge to dismiss the imams’ lawsuit next month.
