People flagged by the ticket agent, people who purchase tickets online. That's what got her flagged. Dig deeper, you are missing it.
Obviously. Carry on, you don't need me for this.
What am I missing here?
Your earlier text, which give context to my responses.
Was the prospective passenger carrying weapons or anything which could be judged as a weapon.? Was the prospective passenger deemed a threat to any of the other passengers or the completion of the flight to its destination? If the answers to any of the above questions were yes then the person should have been arrested, charged and dealt with in a court of law.

Otherwise the passenger should have been allowed on the flight regardless of political belief or profile of ticket purchase.
You still do not allow for attitude. "We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone."
The ticket purchaser has suffered discrimation
Self-inflicted and self-aggravated.
If you start to agree to this type of decision you are no different than the Muslims who claim all non-believers to be an enemy.
"Us v Them" straw man.
Think about it!
