I wish more establishments, corporations, institutions or whatever can emulate this. People just wear rubbish these men and women alike. They just wait on Lady Gaga to do it then every insane creature is putting on one nauseating outfit or the other. Lord knows when I establish my outfit mammals dressed like retards wont near it.
Airlines give many reasons for refusing to let you board, but none stir as much debate as this: How you're dressed. A woman flying from Las Vegas on Southwest this spring says she was confronted by an airline employee for showing too much cleavage. In another recent case, an American Airlines
pilot lectured a passenger because her T-shirt bore a four-letter
expletive. She was allowed to keep flying after draping a shawl over the
shirt.
Both women told their stories to sympathetic bloggers, and the debate over what you can wear in the air went viral.
It's
not always clear what's appropriate. Airlines don't publish dress
codes. There are no rules that spell out the highest hemline or the
lowest neckline allowed. That can leave passengers guessing how far to push fashion boundaries. Every once in a while the airline says: Not that far.
"It's
like any service business. If you run a family restaurant and somebody
is swearing, you kindly ask them to leave," says Kenneth Quinn, an
aviation lawyer and former chief counsel at the U.S. Federal Aviation
Administration. The American
Airlines passenger, who declined to be interviewed by The Associated
Press, works for an abortion provider. Supporters suggested that she was
singled out because her T-shirt had a pro-choice slogan.
A spokesman for American says the passenger was asked to cover up "because of the F-word on the T-shirt." He says that the airline isn't taking sides in the abortion debate.
Last
week, Arijit Guha, a graduate student at Arizona State University, was
barred from a Delta flight in Buffalo, N.Y., because of a T-shirt that
mocked federal security agents and included the words, "Terrists gonna
kill us all." He says the misspelled shirt was satirical and he wore it
to protest what he considers racial profiling.
"I
thought it was a very American idea to speak up and dissent when you
think people's rights are being violated," Guha says. The pilot thought
it scared other passengers.
American
and Delta are within their rights to make the passengers change shirts
even if messages are political, says Joe Larsen, a First Amendment
lawyer from Houston who has defended many media companies. The
First Amendment prohibits government from limiting a person's
free-speech rights, but it doesn't apply to rules set by private
companies, Larsen says. He notes that government security screeners
didn't challenge Guha; private Delta employees did.
In
short, since airlines and their planes are private property and not a
public space like the courthouse steps, crews can tell you what to wear.
