Man gets denied boarding due to Anti-Bush T-Shirt January 22, 2007

Seems like airlines will ban people for anything these days. A man was barred from a Qantas Airways flight for wearing an Anti-Bush T-Shirt. The US has the addition of the terrorist watchlists, but even clothing has become a problem. It’s kind of ironic that the US went to war to give Iraq freedom, and people in the west are being denied this right.
A passenger barred from a Qantas airlines flight for wearing a T-shirt depicting US President George Bush as a terrorist has threatened legal action.
This is not the first time this has happened. A very similar incident happened to Raed Jarrar at JFK, where he was barred from flying with JetBlue until he changed his t-shirt, which said ‘We will not be silent’ in Arabic and English. As he says:
It sucks to be an Arab/Muslim living in the US these days. When you go to the middle east, you are a US tax-payer destroying people’s houses with your money, and when you come back to the US, you are a suspected terrorist and plane hijacker.
It sucks flying to the US. It sucks flying in the US. No wonder people prefer to drive wherever possible nowadays. Air travel is becoming a traumatic experience.
My brother recommended I might like this web site. He was entirely right.
This post actually made my day. You can not
imagine just how much time I had spent for this information!
Thanks!
