Some airports have chapels in them, so maybe they should be closed. Or some people should be stopped from going in them, or detained when leaving. When I fly my seat is assigned when I buy the ticket so sitting together may not have been possible for the Imams.

[The Imams aren’t being criticized for not sitting together (though they did sit together in three groups), they’re being criticized for squatting in first-class seats that they were not entitled to. — TF]

Defendants get to take discovery too, you know. US Airways should subopoena Keith Ellison. I think that would make for a very interesting deposition.

This brought out lots of important facts that I had not seen in previous accounts. It helped provide context for the airline’s actions.
