Man this is so paranoid its beyond belief....
CNN) -- Four California nuns say they were among six passengers kept off an American Airlines flight in January after crew members complained of a sulfur smell in the cabin and ordered passengers off the plane.

"I felt discriminated very much, because the four of us were taken out from that group, kept us aside, not telling us why we were there," said Sister Tessy Pius, the principal of Mary Immaculate Queen School in Lemoore, California. She and the three other nuns are natives of India and are employed at the school.

Brown skinned, heads covered - TERRAISTS!!!!!! EEEKKK!!!!!

Not the first time some idiot assumed any brown skinned person was automatically mid-eastern, hence automatically a terrorist. Damn we are a bunch of idiots. Have they never heard of Timothy McVeigh?
