SpeedRacer 1 #5 January 22, 2007 Airlines have some pretty strict rules about jokes/comments that have anything to do with "bombs" "guns" "terrorist" or whatever. If they hear you just say the word "bomb" out loud on a plane you can bet you'll be taken aside & questioned thoroughly, at the very least, but probably kicked off the flight. So I'm not too surprised that a guy with TERRORIST written on his T-shirt was kicked off.

jakee 1,595 #11 January 22, 2007 Best thing about the story is right at the end... QuoteQantas issued a statement saying comments made verbally or on a T-shirt which had the potential to offend other travelers or threaten the security of aircraft "will not be tolerated." What the fuck? How is a T-shirt going to threaten the safety of the aircraft!Do you want to have an ideagasm? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SpeedRacer 1 #14 January 22, 2007 A plane is not a democracy. From what I understand, the pilot can use any reason under the sun to refuse to fly or have someone kicked off. If you want to "expresth" yourself, do it somewhere else if it's going to involve mentioning terrorists or bombs or guns. The sign at Security says "Please- NO JOKES!" and they mean it.

rehmwa 2 #16 January 22, 2007 QuoteI'm not too surprised that a guy with TERRORIST written on his T-shirt was kicked off. it said "World's #1 Terrorist" The test is whether the airline would have kicked him off with ANYBODY's picture on the T. Or no picture at all, just the text. Having been on a lot of commercial flights, the answer is 'yes'. ...

No shit, did I ever dispute that? Now perhaps you can explain to me how a T-shirt with a joke on it could actually endanger the safety of the plane?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

billvon 3,118 #19 January 23, 2007 >but if it were the other party's guy on the shirt you'd be screaming >at the top of your lungs. I can imagine the outraged indignation if the shirt in question had a bloody cross, a message saying "Jesus died for your sins" and some text on the back saying "he will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end." But as others have pointed out, that T-shirt could be outlawed just as easily. Airplanes aren't public property, and an airline is under no obligation to allow any specific shirt/sign/message on their aircraft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Channman 2 #21 January 23, 2007 He's in it for the money. He has credit card debt out his ass. So he devised this plan to extort 100s of thousands from an airline, for preventing him from expressing his so called free speach. If he sues for monitary damages, I hope the airline counter sues him and takes him to the cleaners financially trying to defend himself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
willard 0 #22 January 23, 2007 QuoteQuote Sometimes you just got to smile....and where did this happen? It was at an Australian airport bound for the U.S. I think. QuoteAllen Jasson, 55, an Australian IT expert who lives in Britain, was stopped from boarding a London-bound Qantas flight at Melbourne Airport last Friday for wearing what the airline said was an offensive T-shirt Privately owned airline, they can ban pink flip-flops if they want. It is kind of dumb to take him off the flight just because of a shirt, BUT we don't know what took place between this guy and the crew. Maybe they asked him to change or cover his shirt, he said "No" and they took him off the flight. Then again, maybe they asked him to remove or cover the shirt and he went ballistic and started spouting off about his rights, Bush, Clinton's blow job and whatever else was on his mind. In that case they had damn well better throw him butt off the plane! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
