share your #FlyingWhileMuslim story

I always get profiled with the 4 SSSS specially when entering the country from abroad.

Last spring I was searched leaving the country to my native Mexico. It was humiliating.

Have you ever received a response or resolution from either an airline, airport or government official regarding the discrimination you experienced? If so, what was the response or the result?

No.

Has the discrimination you've faced made it harder for you to travel? If so, in what ways and at what cost?

The story of my life, it makes me feel disappointed that we Muslim have to deal with the after affects of a tragedy I had nothing to with. My introduction to Islam was 9/11. I actually converted afterwards.

What was your reaction to the No-Fly List leak story? how did it make you feel?

Very disappointed- glad that it surfaced. I hope changes will be made to create a fair and non-discriminatory environment.
