Man kicked off plane because of a 'terror' T-shirt

An Australian has been thrown off a flight for wearing a T-shirt branding George Bush a terrorist.

Allen Jasson was barred from a Qantas flight from Melbourne to London for his apparently offensive choice of clothing.

The T-shirt bore a pictured of US President Bush and the slogan 'World's number one terrorist'.

Airport staff at first told Mr Jasson to change into a Qantas shirt - then, when he refused, refused to let him fly.

The 55-year-old IT specialist is now threatening to sue the airline, saying he had worn the shirt on previous domestic flights without a problem.

Mr Jasson, who lives in London but had been visiting family in Australia, said: 'I am not prepared to go without the T-shirt.

'I might forfeit the $2,500 fare but I have made up my mind I would rather stand up for the principle of free speech.

Qantas insisted any comments, spoken or on clothing, would 'not be tolerated' if they had potential to offend other passengers or threaten security.

A few years ago, I remember reading about a person being kicked off a plane in the U.S. because the person was wearing a shirt with Bush and Cheney that said "Meet the Fuckers", which was a play off the movie title "Meet the Fockers". I thought it was wrong to kick those people off the plane, and I think it was wrong to kick this person off the plane. Expressing your personal dislike of a politician is no reason to be denied air service. I am surprised to read about this happening outside of the U.S., though. I thought Bush was pretty much hated worldwide.

This is old news to the self important media of Australia. Anyway, I have two thoughts on the matter. Yes, it's excessive to kick someone off a plane for voicing an extremely valid opinion about one of the fuckers. One could say he was going too far, but was he? It was a simple comedic T-Shirt, and corparations forcing citizens to shut the hell up about political matters is a bit of a problem. If one guy caves in, does that leave this whole matter defeated? Then again, did he really need to make such a hubbub about it? Who knows.
