Well, sheesh. He gets worried when on airplanes with Muslims?
Commercial air is by far the safest way to travel in America. Was, too, in 2001, as far as I can tell. In a world of about 6.6 billion people, there are about 1.6 billion muslims, or about one in four.
He should be completely free to be nervous around Muslims, and particularly on airplanes -- but it's completely irrational, and kinda dumb.
Firing him was probably counter-productive in terms of helping educate him, or anybody else. It seems to have, somehow, validated his paranoia.
