Professor kicked off plane for writing in "Arabic". aka Math Equations

http://www.aol.com/article/2016/05/07/ivy-league-professor-kicked-off-plane-writing-arabic/21372180/?icid=maing-grid7%7Cmain5%7Cdl23%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D1834837068_htmlws-main-bb

Are we going totally insane in this country? Is this the kind of country we will live in with a President Trump? Will I have to stop writing in Gregg Shorthand or somebody will think I am a Terrorist too? "American" writing only? Watch out, Asians, you might be next for writing your "Arabic" symbols sitting next to some ignorant idiot on a plane.
