We're All Terrorist Suspects, Aren't We?

This is great. An Indian-born British man was hauled off of a plane as a suspected terrorist after a cab driver reported the man's suspicious behaviour to the police. He was interrogated for 3 hours, a background check was run, then he was released. The behaviour in question...playing a Clash song and a Led Zeppelin song on his MP3 player through the cab's stereo and singing along. Apparently the cabbie thought the lyrics were suspicious. The questionable songs were London Calling and Immigrant Song. I've never been a big fan of Led Zeppelin so I'd agree that might be suspicious behaviour. But really, it's too bad that none of the stories about this have said anything identifying the cab driver, as I'm fairly certain he's got some public ridicule and mockery coming his way.
