I have a friend whose husband has always always have to go through special security just because his name is Muhammad.

share your #FlyingWhileMuslim story

Maybe I didn’t realize it but it happened to me this past December, I had a pat down on not just a casual walk through ; on our way back my husband had a “random” special check at Athens before we boarded the flight.

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?

Didn’t report.

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

We don’t travel much and when we do there are a lot of Muslims on the flight so not sure.

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

Very uncomfortable; I have a friend whose husband has always always have to go through special security just because his name is Muhammad.
