T-Shirt Lady

HeyDudeWhoa has an Oct 7 post worth reading on the subject of the Washington lady wearing her expletive intensive t-shirt on the airline; http://www.breitbart.com/news/2005/10/06/D8D2NNROD.html.

Not only is she wearing a t-shirt with offensive language... justifying the wearing of the shirt by stating family are in Iraq fighting... but two of the key facts here are; 1) she is 32 years old and 2) a lumber salesman per the article.

Paint the picture of who this person may be; young, but old enough to be a professional. Is it safe to conclude since her husband was sitting with her on the flight, he condones his wife's behavior and fashion sense? For there 15 minutes of fame, I think they failed. My first impressions of these two people, also a failure.

Be sure to read the bottom of the article;

"McInnis said Southwest rules allow the airline to deny boarding to any passenger whose clothing is "lewd, obscene or patently offensive."

But Allen Lichtenstein, lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union in Las Vegas, said it "might be problematic" that the airline "changed rules in the middle of a flight.""

Mr Lichtenstein is suggesting the airline changed the rules in mid-flight. Apparently the ACLU would not have a problem with the airline, if upon realizing the lewd t-shirt made it past boarding, the stewards(ess'es) could have thrown a parachute on Lori Heasley and asked to her to get off the plane.

Her name is Lori Heasley. And she is proud to be an American.
