If AA had such suspicions then AA should have denied the flight to Mr. Ried on basis of a breached contract – they could even have kept the airfare!


That sounds interesting. As an airline, all you have to do is to cancel a flight because you suspect everybody on it of being a terrorist, and keep the cash. I wonder how long you could get away with that before a court found against you? (not intended to give a certain Dublin based airline ideas!)

More seriously, I suspect anyone denied the flight would have a good case in court unless the airline could prove the terrorist connection.
