<< A Georgia woman says she and her fellow Delta passengers were prevented from singing the national anthem as crews unloaded the casket of a fallen soldier at Atlanta’s airport last weekend. Pamela Dee Gaudry was on a flight toward Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport when she says she learned that the body of a fallen soldier — 29-year-old Army Staff Sgt. Dustin Wright — was on her plane....
As the flight neared its destination, however, Gaudry says the chief flight attendant came up to her and informed her it was against Delta’s policy to sing the national anthem. Gaudry claims the attendant then explained how some of the passengers were from other countries, and may be offended by them singing the national anthem. >>

This is a fucking disgrace. American people arriving to Atlanta on an American plane are banned from singing the American anthem - because some foreigners may be offended by hearing it? Apparently, Delta administration got scared of potential consequences and denied that this was the airline policy, but the actions of the flight attendant are not very surprising given the general climate in the country.
