Shahid Mahmood Still Seeking Answers

Shahid Mahmood is still looking for the reason he's been banned from flying Air Canada, and is now taking his case before a tribunal with something called the Security Intelligence Review Committee. Mahmood was a well-publicized victim of restrictive anti-terrorist policies, and it's believed he may have been restricted because of the political content of his cartoons, or because of some form of racial profiling, or a combination of the two. The Mahmood case is one of those things you'd think would have worked itself out by now, so it's slightly depressing to hear that's not the case.
