So in general, you’re saying that we should blame invasive procedures that take place in airports on the impacted airlines? Would you blame Lufthansa if the passengers happened to be removed from one of their planes in Qatar?

The fact that Qatar Airways is (majority?) owned by the Qatari government is a separate issue.

I take reasonably any action taken by border agents in USA would be fault of any carrier flying there? Applying same standards. Like getting interrogated for a long time having your devices seized and searched. And so on...

The airline were complicit in the view of the victims, as per the article and the lawsuit.

You’re still skirting the question. The victims (understandably) sued every party they could to maximize their chances. But being sued does not imply guilt.

Anyways, we’ve gone too far into the weeds here.
