Muslim passenger pulled from Southwest Airlines for wearing headscarf

Should a Southwest Airlines crew be disciplined for removing a Muslim woman from a flight? The woman,who was wearing a scarf on her head was escorted off of the plane, only to be allowed to continue from San Diego to San Diego on a later flight. The removal is thought to have been the unilateral decision of a flight attendant, who had not consulted the captain of the flight. I have to wonder if this is the result of the recent actions by Peter King to investigate all Muslims as terrorists, and the divisive feelings such actions engender. If so, will all pro-life (anti-choice) citizens be investigated, as part of a group which has bombed abortion clinics and shot doctors?
