Glasgow Airport meets with ethnic minority leaders over security search concerns
01.06.11
Ethnic minority representatives will be invited to a security open day at Glasgow Airport to try to allay fears they are being singled out for questioning by its security staff. Glasgow MSP Humza Yousaf has been in discussions with the airport following claims that some ethnic minorities would rather travel to Manchester or London than face ‘awkward questions’ at Glasgow.
Mr Yousaf told a local newspaper: ‘During the election campaign, a number of people raised issues with security at Glasgow Airport with me. Some have been stopped four or five times and asked really awkward questions like: How many times a day do you pray?; What mosque do you go to?; or Does your wife wear a head scarf?.’
