A Muslim family removed from a plane Thursday after passengers became concerned about their conversation about the "safest" place to sit says AirTran officials refused to re-book them, even after FBI investigators cleared them of wrongdoing.

All eight members of the Irfan family from Alexandria, Va., and a friend were kicked off an Orlando-bound AirTran Airways flight after two other passengers overheard what they thought was a "suspicious remark".

The remark involved one of the family's desire to sit in the "safest" seats.

4. Oooh! I have a scarf like that!
I wear it around my neck. Funny how wearing it a few inches further up makes you dangerous.

9. Incredible. They want to sit in the safest seats in case the plane crashes.
Just like everyone else who thinks about the airline cost-saving in aircraft maintenance (read more vulnerable aircraft).

Of course, some Bushie freeper is going to complain, but the airline should know better. Too bad BushAmerica won't allow them to be sued.
