If he had said he got nervous on a plane when he saw a normal looking person in a FDNY baseball cap and a Go Navy hoody with a Stars and Stripes badge pinned to it because they might be a really sneaky terrorist going over the top to blend in then it would be a rational statement about a rational feeling. But to have it over someone who dresses like they might be a muslim is pure bollox and totally irrational no matter which way you look at it.

Perhaps it was rational stereotyping? Whatever the case...the man should not have been fired. End.....
