For making him cover up his islamic shirt while boarding there plane. Now i admit they shouldnt have made this guy do that, but sueing the airline for 240k dollars and winning is way to much for making him cover up a t-shirt and sitting in the back of the plane. A reasonable amount to sue for would have been maybe 2k but come on 240k. Story- http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090106...s_090106002219
