Flying Imans Suit Settled out of court
Six Muslim clerics who were forced off a flight in Minneapolis amid terrorist concerns from passengers have settled their lawsuit against the airline and law enforcement agencies.
defendants were hurt by a preliminary finding by a MN judge who thought no reasonable officer could find the imans were dangerous even though 15 officers did
The imams called the settlement, which must be approved by a federal judge to take effect, a victory. The airport said it has not changed any policies as a result of the settlement, which it said it agreed to in order to save the expense of a trial.
"It is not an admission of guilt," said Patrick Hogan, a spokesman for the Metropolitan Airports Commission, which runs Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
law enforcement officials will have to -at the least- do more cya next time
