How to spot a possible terrorist

The April issue of Harper’s Magazine has a list of incidents in which U.S. and U.K. airlines removed Muslims or passengers who were perceived to be Muslim from their flights.  

Asked for a glass of water.
Asked for a second Diet Coke.
Saved seats for friends.
Requested a strap for a child’s booster seat.
Upgraded to business class.
Read a book.
Read an article titled “What ISIS Really Wants.”
Looked at a flight attendant.
Looked at an Arabic text message.
Appeared scary to another passenger.
Watched the news.
Soved an algebraic equation.
Sweated.

Prayed for a safe flight.
