It's better if she is NOT banned, and just never knows if she will be singled-out that day and not allowed to fly.

That would be much more disruptive.

Enough is enough. It is time to start calling bigots on their crap and get them tossed if possible. Maybe they will learn that their behaviour is nowhere nearly as acceptable as it once was.
