Who said anything about X-Rated pornography? As if airport security wouldn't have pounced on said person with such a T-shirt long before she even got near the check-in counter, and rightfully so. X-Rated pornography is banned from open public display in most every nation on the planet. What has X-Rated visual pornography got to do with a politically motivated T-shirt?

The point is not pornography, it is obscenity in general. I used that example because pornography is protected speech but we have said that there are appropriate places for that type of speech. Clearly public places and venues where children may be exposed to it are not deemed appropriate. I haven't seen the shirt but if it has fu?kers on it. That would certainly make it inappropriate for kids. Further, the aircraft are privet vessels owned by privet companies. Finally, aircraft commanders have the right to kick off any passenger who is disrupting the safe and efficient operation of the aircraft…there is very broad discretion in this matter.
