.Passenger: Was cuffed, searched over 'appearance'
DETROIT (AP) - A woman says she was taken off an airplane in handcuffs, strip-searched and interrogated by authorities in Michigan on the 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks "simply because" of her appearance.
Shoshana Hebshi said Tuesday she was one of three people escorted off a plane in handcuffs from a Denver-to-Detroit Frontier Airlines flight. The 35-year-old mother from Ohio says they didn't know each other but were in the same row.
Hebshi says the men were Indian and describes herself as half-Arab, half-Jewish, with dark complexion.
Two fighter jets escorted the plane after its crew reported suspicious activity.
The FBI says it questioned Hebshi and released her after finding no reason to suspect her. Messages seeking comment were left for Frontier and police.
