No reason given... mkay then
atleast make **** up X'D
you cant just stop them from boarding and give no reason :/

but i hope the family dont milk it and sue like that Ahmed clock boy's
"We can confirm that a group of passengers were denied the right to board a flight from London Gatwick to Los Angeles yesterday at the request of US Homeland security."

I'm sure there's a perfectly reasonable explanation as to why they were declined entry.

Can I have a list of the people on their airplane? I'm sure I'll be abel to find another "Muslim-sounding" family.

US Homeland security blocked them. It could be for many reasons, and they have chosen not to divulge the basis.

There is no evidence it was "Islamaphobia".

I'm sure they'll get it back if proof of any wrongdoing is brought to light... in the mean time they should wait.

Of course it was wrongly done, they were a Muslim family and NO excuse was given to why they were stopped.

I don't think they will sue.
