US Airways is right to stand by its flight crew. It will be both dangerous and disgraceful if the Department of Homeland Security, the Department of Transportation and, ultimately, our federal courts allow aviation security measures put in place after 9/11 to be cynically manipulated in the name of civil rights.
But holding off these attacks on our security as the Flying Imam case seems to be is not enough. We must counter-attack under our laws.
There are many fronts in our war and we must fight on this one, too.
