She and two other airline passengers were handcuffed and strip-searched after flying into Detroit on Sunday.
No charges were filed against Hebshi, a self-described “half-Arab, half-Jewish housewife living in suburban Ohio,” or the two men sitting next to her, who were flying in from Denver when the crew of Frontier Airlines Flight 623 alerted authorities that they were reportedly behaving suspiciously.
In a blog post titled “Some real Shock and Awe: Racially profiled and cuffed in Detroit,” Hebshi, an American citizen, told her tale of temporary detainment, which she had begun to share with Twitter followers in real-time — until handcuffs were placed on her wrists.
