AirTran ADDS A NEW TWIST TO "BUH-BYE"

AirTran Airways apologized Friday to nine Muslims kicked off a New Year's Day flight to Florida after other passengers reported hearing a suspicious remark about airplane security (no joke). "We're particularly sorry that the plane happened to be at 25,000 feet when we forced them to leave," said Randy Burtell, a spokesman for the airline. "Please notify us if you come across any of these individuals. They probably won't be moving very much."
