To go back to the original point....I think it was bullshit, and the pilot should get fried if those guys were just sitting there minding their own business. Dress and religion are not reasons enough to keep someone off a flight (screening....sure, although legally I guess you can't do one and not the other)

Besides, if some savage is wearing man jammies on a plane, then I'm not worried. He is either not a security risk at all, or he is the dumbest terrorist roaming the earth.

I'm more concerned with the one sitting in a suit trying NOT to look Arab/Muslim.
