It took you almost 2 years to object? I hope you're not a lawyer.

Please point me to the 'decency' paragraph in the Conditions of Carriage.

p. 10 Section F, especially Para 1--Under "Refusal to Transport"

The inability or unwillingness to find that section exposes an ulterior
agenda.

And yet tragically true amongst some folks I've met.

NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Southwest Airlines kicked a woman off one of
its flights over a political message on her T-shirt, the airline
confirmed Thursday, and published reports say the passenger will sue.

Things like this are not new.....

Several years ago a guy in Texas (state lawyer IIRC) and his son were
thrown out of a shopping mall for wearing t-shirts with anti-Bush
slogans printed on them, although no obscene words were involved.

Then there was the case of a student in SF who had anti-Bush posters
on the wall of her apartment and someone reported her to the FBI.
Soon after, two FBI agents banged on her door...

Are these actions of throwing people off planes and out of shopping
malls etc politically motivated? a distorted view of what's good/bad?
or is mindless moral group-think taking over America? Maybe they
hear the voice of God in their head? I dunno.

I didn't say anything about me.

That;s the way Craig operates, innit.

That's more than obvious. Here is the relevant section for the indolent:

"F. Comfort and Safety - Carrier may refuse to transport or remove from the
aircraft at any
point any passenger in the following categories as may be necessary for the
comfort or safety of such passenger or other passengers:

(1) Persons whose conduct is or has been known to be disorderly, abusive,
offensive, threatening, intimidating, or violent, or whose clothing is lewd,
obscene, or patently offensive; "



And that is in the opinion of the airline, not some single-minded poster on
a Usenet group.

What does it tell you, exactly? That he's heterosexual and has
a sense of humor? The horror!

Way to go southwest you brown nosing buttsniffers! Is this how you
assure a safe flight to passengers by inspecting someone's T-SHIRT?

Why respond now to an issue that was posted 1 1/2 years ago?
