Muslim Tax Attorney & Family Removed From Flight For "Suspicious Comments"
WebCPA: Tax Attorney's Family Removed from Airplane:
The families of tax attorney Atif Irfan and his brother Kashif were removed from an AirTran Airways flight [from Washington, D.C. to Orlando] after other passengers complained of suspicious comments they overheard.
Kashif accused the airline of discriminating against the group because some of them were wearing traditional Muslim garb. He said they had merely been discussing the safest place to sit on an airplane and not making any threatening comments

Comments
I was getting on a plane once and the person next to me was stopped for questioning for no apparent reason other than skin color. I asked the man who stopped him what was going on. "Shut up and keep walking," he replied. I did. I don't know if the fellow was a tax lawyer.
