British Parliament stopped for flight due to his name

jeudi 26 octobre 2023 à 05:50

Mohammad Yasin, member of the British Parliament, was about to fly to Canada as part of an official parliamentary visit, when he was stopped and questioned because — get this — his name was "Mohammad".

Not only is it crazy to stop a passenger who is an MP for that reason. It is crazy to stop any other passenger for that reason. If your security believes that being named "Mohammad" is a rational reason to suspect someone of anything, it is worse than incompetent.
