Comedians Eric André and Clayton English sue over Atlanta airport searches

Duo say police, in separate incidents at Atlanta airport, singled them out for drug search and questioning because of their race

The comedians Eric Andre and Clayton English have sued Clayton county police, alleging racial profiling at Atlanta's main airport in a program supposedly aimed at finding illegal drugs but in which officers regularly confiscate passengers' cash.

Andre, creator and host of The Eric Andre Show, and English, a standup comedian and actor, say that in separate incidents, Clayton county police officers at Hartsfield-Jackson international airport racially profiled and illegally stopped them to question if they had illegal drugs.
