403. What a strawman "argument."
Edited on Thu Oct-06-05 09:29 AM by nvliberal
This isn't a free speech issue. The woman chose to wear a shirt with an obscene message, and the word "fuck," contrary to some posters who obviously use it as part of their daily vocabulary, IS obscene, and it was in violation of the airline's regulations.

You make a choice to get on a plane. By doing so you agree to abide by the airline's rules.

The airline has the right to serve whoever it wants (except in cases where it is clear discrimination) and can deny people using their services when the regulations are violated.

This isn't rocket science, people. You don't need to be a lawyer to see that there is no "case" here to be made.
