"And the wife and child, who JQ were trying to protect, were kicked off too? Sounds fishy to me."
Perhaps they were not "kicked off", as you describe it, but disembarked voluntariiy when the wife was advised that their hold baggage would be ofloaded. That is SOP world wide, and has been (I believe) since Lockerbie. Airlines do not necessarily advertise why bags must come off, because the outrage industry/woke brigade may then accuse them of 'profiling' people of a certain appearance - never mind that security policies apply equally to bogans and business suits.
The Press will beat up anything to make a story, and some people form instant judgements based on sensationalist reporting.

Reason: added woke brigade because outrage industry has two distinct wings
