Americans still do not trust people wearing head scarves

As reported by Reuters:

Graduate student Irum Abassi was wearing a head scarf when she was ordered to leave a flight on Sunday before it took off from San Diego International Airport.

Abassi told reporters at a news conference that a Southwest crew member thought Abassi said, "It's a go" -- or something to that effect -- in a conversation on her cell phone. "They weren't even sure what I said," Abassi said.

She added that what she actually said was "I've got to go," because she could not talk on the phone during take-off.
