Muslims cannot speak or act freely because state and passengers monitor them.
Evidence
The reality is that Muslim men and women do not have the ability to act or speak freely in airports. They are afraid to speak Arabic, let alone words like “bomb.” Their bodies and actions are closely monitored by both the state and their fellow passengers. As a result, they are stripped of the ability to occupy airports without concern for how their actions and behavior are interpreted. — , Selod, Saher - Forever Suspect_…, 327
