Flight on 9/11 ends in handcuffs for housewife
Shoshana Hebshi will never forget where she was on the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11. She and two other airline passengers were handcuffed and strip-searched after flying into Detroit on Sunday. No charges were filed against Hebshi, a self-described "half-Arab, half-Jewish housewife living in suburban Ohio," or the two men sitting next to her, who were flying in from Denver when the crew of Frontier Airlines Flight 623 alerted authorities that they were reportedly behaving suspiciously.

@ Marcus...HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Why on earth are people flying on 9/11?!? Don't they know by now that everybody is on edge that day, and that the slightest little sneeze on a plane will get you a nightmare from the Feds?
Honestly, I'd like to say that America is better than this, but really, being of Arab descent, on a plane, on 9/11 in the US...she should've seen this coming.

she wasn't taken off a plane "simply because of my appearance." You'd think with her being a writer and editor and all that she wouldn't think that would happen. Maybe it had something to do with the 2 Indian men you were sitting with that both went to the restroom at the same time.....from the same row...for an extended amount of time.....the row that YOU were sitting on as well. This isn't racial profiling....the day this happened was 9/11 as well. Use your damn brain.
@Toby: She didn't seem to have any influence over with whom she sat. It seems that she was, indeed, assumed to have evil intentions due to the combination of the behavior of her seatmates and their physical appearances.
It's shameful. I truly hope that the people connected with raising the alarm on Sunday feel that shame for the horror and humiliation they caused three innocent people.

The Arab people want to live in our country and scream racial profiling when something like this happens. Do they have a chain tied to them to live in America. They can take one last one way flight if they don't like it, staight back to where they came from. They have no one to blame but their own countrymen.
