How was it bigoted? He said he felt nervous; that is hardly his fault...we can't control how we feel about some things. He then went on to say that Americans should "get over it" (I'm assuming he already has, by the fact he is recommending it).

Now a bigot is "a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion" [1]. Is he being utterly intolerant of Muslims? No. In fact, he's being quite the opposite, saying that Americans should *get over* any nervous feelings they might have about Muslims on planes.
