  It amazes me that people freak out 
  when they see "Muslim-looking" people on flights.

I may not be flying often enough, but I am flying both in the USA and International, and I have never seen this happening. (Maybe someone was freaking out quietly and I have not noticed.)

Is this your experience, or are you extrapolating from what you have read about it?

First sentence in the article: passengers refused to fly with two Arab-looking men looking at their watches.

So, extrapolating?
