It's frightening how much the TSA bases the list on innuendo, assertions, and just plain false information.

share your #FlyingWhileMuslim story

I was told in 2008 that I am on the no-fly list because there is evidence that I am really an Algerian terrorist who fought for independence there. (Algeria became independent in 1962 and I was born in 1958.)

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?

I haven’t traveled much since then.

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

It’s about time. It's frightening how much the TSA bases the list on innuendo, assertions, and just plain false information.
