I guess you've got to be careful what you say on a plane; that said, I don't think you can blame passengers for being alert given what has already happened.
Washington - AirTran Airlines says nine Muslim passengers were removed from a flight from Washington, DC, to Florida after other passengers reported hearing a suspicious remark.
An AirTran spokesperson says there was a misunderstanding.
The Muslim passengers say AirTran wouldn't rebook them Thursday and they had to pay for seats on another airline.
Passenger Kashif Irfan tells The Washington Post in a story published on Friday that the confusion began when his brother remarked aloud that the plane's jets were next to his window.
Two other passengers reported hearing what they considered to be a suspicious remark.
