share your #FlyingWhileMuslim story

I was taken aside for extra questioning when coming back to US after a trip to Spain in 2005. It was an extra hour or two of my time, and everyone else in the room was Black or brown and definitely Muslim. I’ve also been tagged for extra screening on my boarding pass several times while flying.
