It should never be up to the passengers to decide who is or is not allowed on an aircraft.

Passengers know nowt abaout aviation security (ok 99.999% of the time)

That would be one step off "mob rule" and all the perfectly innocent asians would be quite rightly furious at such levels of idiocy.

If individuals are acting suspiciously (but proven to be innocent) it is up to the captain of the plane to decide who is allowed on or not.

A counter argument here is that the compaining passengers should have been booted off the plane for being bigots and the suspects given an upgrade to business class to compensate for the emotional turmoil of mob rule.

Maybe they were acting suspiciously *because everybody was staring at them*

I'm a qualified pilot btw so I'd like to think my opinion has some validity!
