so what happens when a Christian cabbie refuses to transport someone carrying a Koran in one hand and semtex in the other?

So, what you are really saying is that the middle class white man is the most oppressed person in the U.S.?

Why doesn't the Airport Commission simpy hire out different cab companies?

This sounds like a problem that should be taken care of in the private sector, not the public domain.

Airport Authorities are generally controlled by a board of directors who are appointed by...drumroll...elected officials. For instance, Nashville International Airport is operated by the Metro Nashville Airport Authority (MNAA). The MNAA policies are decided by a 10-member board of commissioners appointed by the mayor. One can only assume that radical political correctness among the general population of Minneapolis/St. Paul, a large, politically active Muslim voting block in the area, or a combination of the two, are dictating policy.

If the voting bloc is that large, then shouldn't they be dictating policy?

The consumers still have a choice and an opportunity cost. If the consumers decide to use a different form of transportation (I assume they can still rent cars or have family and friends pick them up) then the market will decide how much longer these cab companies can continue to operate like this.

I honestly think it is a bunch of smoke over nothing.

Applying your voting block analysis, I suppose it is okay for the cabbies of Nashville to refuse service to muslims because they disagree with their religion and muslims aren't much of a voting block around here?

Similarly, applying the "other choices" argument, white hotel owners could tell weary black travellers to hit the road because they could always stay with a relative, pitch a tent, or sleep in the car.

In this country public accomodations, such as transportation services, lodging, and restaurants are to be open to all people. We used to allow the type of restrictions you allude to before the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
