A transgender model has been convicted for calling a Muslim security guard at Heathrow Airport a “terrorist” after she misheard him saying “ma’am” for “man”.
Francesca Camicia, 23, who was travelling to Italy shouted “you’re a terrorist” during a two-hour meltdown.
She was convicted of using threatening behaviour towards Mustafa Abbas and supervisor Fahad Arshad on 17 September 2017, and was conditionally discharged for two years.
Mr Abbas insisted he addressed Camicia as “ma’am” during secondary security checks at Heathrow Airport Terminal 4.
He said: “She said, ‘Don’t talk to me like a dog, you need to learn some education, you f*cking idiot.
“She said it with disgust and was looking down at me and made me feel worthless, like I am nothing.
“She said, ‘You earn six pounds an hour and you think you are God.’ She had a bit of an attitude on her.”

He reported the incident to supervisor Mr Arshad, who told the court: “She refused to stop and completely lost control. Just mad, I couldn’t speak to her.
“She completely lost the plot, saying that she was transgender and that I wished death on all transgenders. She was in a blind rage.
“She pointed at my beard and said: ‘I should be afraid of you. You are the terrorist.’
“She said I was homosexual and made an oral sex gesture with her hand.
“I have never come across anyone that angry or unpredictable in seven years at Heathrow.
“I felt intimidated when she came close to my face and poked my shoulder with her fingers.
“She said: ‘You’re peasant. I’ll buy this f*cking airport, this f*cking plane.’
“To be called a terrorist because of how I look is disgusting and she lost control with the police as well.”
