Faisal and Nazia Ali were on a Cincinnati-bound Delta flight from Paris, after celebrating their ten-year anniversary trip to London and Paris. The trip was soon going to turn into a nightmare.
After waiting 45 minutes in the plane, the couple was forcefully removed and told to take with them all of their personal belongings from the flight. After being extensively questioned, the couple was ultimately cleared of any wrongdoing and were put on a plane the next day.
The couple, along with the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is filing a religious profiling complaint against Delta to the US Department of Transportation. The complaint asked, amongst other things "to conduct a thorough examination into the prevailing practices of major American air carriers, including Delta Air Lines, and to develop policy guidelines on the objective factors that are to be considered when determining that a passenger may legally be removed from a flight."
