#3The weaker people in positions of authority are, the less you're allowed to laugh in their faces, and the more you should.

Was going to say the same thing. This seems more like the reason, and it would make sense why they would not claim this was the reason as well, since they don't want the word mentioned again among other passengers.

Using the wrong word is an even more disgusting reason to throw someone off.

#7Not that it's an excuse for what they did but why the hell would you suddenly spout "I am not a terrorist" when no-one has even implied as such. Yeah that's helpful to calming strangers in any situation, just suddenly say that without any reason.

#8Flying has become such a hassle these days. I often just keep my mouth shut when going through security just for the sake of getting through quicker. I feel like if I asked for a pat down as opposed to just walking through the body scan, I would position myself into a potentially troublesome situation. In a way, I do feel like I am being suppressed these days.

#9Why did they throw him off then put him on another flight? I mean either he was a danger (= should be thrown off original flight, but should not be allowed to endanger other flights either), or he wasn't a danger (= could fly on the original flight).

#10It's a bit disturbing and amazing to see so many people here taking the airline's side in this.
No wonder things are the way they are - the general public supports it.
