I was simply expelled from my trip for not wearing a veil. first time this has occurred. Not a government law. @AmericanAir staff remaining over me revealing to me it’s THE LAW. So much for “please regard the individuals who can not wear a veil”. At the point when I brought up this wasn’t a law I was evacuated.
