Air Tran apologized to the family; refunded the passengers' airfare and planned to reimburse them for replacement tickets. US Airways also offered to take the family back to Washington free of charge.
Atif Irfan, one of the family members, said the apology was "definitely nice to hear."
It sounds like if the family members had not been talking about the safest place to sit on a plane, this would not have happened. There continues to be "no nonsense" mentality when in US airports and boarding planes.
It just isn't good idea to talk about anything that can draw suspicion. When close to 4000 lives were lost on 9-11, expect everyone to be screened and questioned if suspect. Case closed.

I say better to be safe than sorry.
