Now that a new federal law
grants immunity from suit to individuals who, in good faith, report on suspicious activities of fellow airline passengers, a group of imams who are plaintiffs in a
Minnesota case yesterday dismissed the "John Doe" passenger defendants from their lawsuit. (
Dismissal Notice.) The Beckett Fund yesterday issued a
release setting out its involvement in demanding that the plaintiffs drop the passengers as defendants in the civil rights suit alleging that six imams were wrongfully removed from a U.S. Airways flight last November.
