Narrative:
After following all safety procedures as of 10/mon/01, I flew a flight from yul to dfw. My number 2 flight attendant's name sounded middle eastern. He had all company and airport ids and his name was on the crew list. Everything checked out as per air carrier procedures. Upon arrival at dfw I was met by a special agent, a federal marshall, INS agent, and a company suit. They wanted me to identification XXXX for them. I asked what it was about, but they would not tell me. I am expected to instill confidence in our passenger, crew, etc, and am responsible for many lives in addition to my own. I cannot discriminate or make anyone feel bad. But I do believe I deserve to know what goes on on my aircraft. These are difficult times, but keep us informed.
