If they follow through on the boycott I think Northwest Airlines will benefit.

Let’s be honest, this would work to the airline’s advantage and I hope the airline maintains their position on the matter.

update 1/18/2007 11:23AM: Dennis sent a note to inform me that Northwest Airlines has already caved.

And Islamist front group CAIR (my opinion of them) is still upset. Although the Muslims were late, they feel they should have been allowed to skirt the rules. They were allowed to board on later flights, but some could not because they did not have luggage receipts. CAIR is claiming some other people were allowed on after the Muslims were denied. I say so what. If the Muslims were late they need to learn to be more punctual. So they can be sent though any possible additional security screening. They were just coming from a land where the letter X might be banned for resembling a cross. A land where Christians are tortured and converts might be killed. So I say additional scrutiny was warranted. CAIR just wants money and has become a new shakedown artist in the Civil Rights Industry.
