share your #FlyingWhileMuslim story

I'm always patted down and my hand scraped because I wear abaya and hijab. I am followed around the airport - even into the bathroom.

Have you ever received a response or resolution from either an airline, airport or government official regarding the discrimination you experienced? If so, what was the response or the result?

I have sent emails to different airports complaining of discrimination. No change. I am always harassed when flying while Black and muslima.

Has the discrimination you've faced made it harder for you to travel? If so, in what ways and at what cost?

I hate flying. I try to avoid it as much as possible.

What was your reaction to the No-Fly List leak story? how did it make you feel?

I feel very angry. It is unconstitutional.
