Unbelievably, after being held for hours at the Ft Lauderdale-Hollywood airport and questioned about his religion two weeks ago, Muhammad Ali Jr was detained at another airport today. This time, it was at Reagan National Airport, boarding a domestic flight on his way to Fort Lauderdale.
Spurred by the first ludicrous detainment he endured, Ali had spent yesterday testifying in front of congress about “putting a stop to such blatant discrimination,” according to Miami New Times.
Ali was then turned away from his flight today after being questioned about his date-of-birth, social security number and mother’s name. It wasn’t until he pulled out his passport – which one isn’t supposed to need for a domestic flight – that they allowed him to board his plane.
