Southwest Airlines crew accused of mistreating Muslims

Irum Abbasi's plane from San Diego to San Jose was about to take off, so she told a friend on her cellphone, "I have to go." Southwest Airlines crew members misheard Abbasi, who emigrated to the U.S. from Pakistan ten years ago, and is a U.S. citizen and graduate student. They thought she said "it's a go." They escorted her from the flight. Now she's suing.
