I think the security slipped up for sure. They should have had the area cordoned off if it was "off-limits". The problem is, the article doesn't really give us enough info. It sound like they messed up and tried to rememdy by resorting to a little racial profiling.
I think asking the guys what they were doing and telling them to leave the area is fine, makes sense. Where I disagree with the rest of the posters is what transpires afterwards. This is normal IMO and expected. NO problem there.
Why did they have to be removed from their original seats and then be "supervised"? Would that happen to a group of 5 white guys (who could possibly be Muslim too, you can't tell by looking)? I don't know, but I would guess, probably not. For me at least, that is the problem. Admittedly, what makes this difficult is the lack of info on what really happened. THe article doesn't say what the guys did to warrant having their seats changed. That's kind of weird. If they were suspicious, why not take them into custody, why let them stay if they were a "threat"? If they were a threat, you need to take them away right?
Oh yeah, I was curious, in the end, did they get better seats?
