Travelers kicked off of flights due to offensive attire

Oh Yeah! I've seen these Mmmmmmm, Risque clothing that best would be: Gym, Yoga, Exotic Dance, Hula, Hooters Waitress, any kind of exercise place, Yard Work.... Just name it for gosh sake! I feel that there should be some kind of MINIMAL Socially Decent type of dress code. Not like where giong to church or court but at least some modesty. Just enough that we do not have to endure Hooker appearance (Uhhh, do we really need to be so distracted? as Beautiful as they may be? Hmmmmm, and what about the pilots? for sure i would like them t onot be distarcted thinkinng about that one really cute but not super revealing attire! just saying so

I personally think religious fanatical garb is offensive, burkas, clerical collars, yarmulkes , etc should get you kicked off a plane, after all was it not supposed religious fanatics that caused 911?

I agree with those people who feel it ...would be / is ... an infringement upon the individual liberties that as americans we are told we are born with. (as stated in the Constitution as it was originally written). I also am concerned at how easily we can opt for something to have rules and regulations to deal with so many facets of our daily lives that I often question the definition of Freedom. It can surely become an interesting conversation to consider the effects of countless rules/regulations/laws/codes on all of us as a whole vs. the related liberties and freedoms we give up as individuals when we allow or encourage these rules/regulations/laws/and codes to exist. I am not saying there are any definate answers, but merely wish to provide a tiny bit of "food for thought" if you will. I try to analyze a situation such as the clothing issue mentioned in the article, by stepping outside my personal direct views on the topic and instead try to understand a number of other views and then compare it to my own. Sometimes, when actually consider the issue from another perspective, I learn a thing or two and may even begin to change my opinion to one that is less cynical and more tolerant and hopefully I become a bit more mature and accepting of other people as well.

Aren't there other things to write about, like more interesting stories that relate Orwell's fear-state to being especially over protective ? Story is read as follows: Because of nostalgic dress codes, we no longer have these because we are in the future? A better story would be thwarting the populace to take baths for hygiene before travel, or reporting on how to be safe in transit so as to calm others who are experiencing high-stress.

lol. Interesting how people infer words and ideas that were never uttered. I never said anything about banning anything, never said anything about judging anyone, not even for what I would deem to be inappropriate clothing choices - I just said they really don't look good and really don't belong in public family type places.

I agree to a point Busy Mom. However, I must say that people seriously do need to take a second look at themselves, or a second whiff, before heading to the airport.

PoorKansasn2 I have a problem with your post because there are lots of things people wear, say, do and even look like that appall me but that doesn't give me the right to verbally judge or ban them because a person has purple hair or a piercing in their lip or tattoos covering exposed skin or wear clothes to tight Anyone paying the same as I should be allowed on a public flight, bus or train I do agree that private parts should be covered but woman be careful that means any low cut tops no matter how mature looking that people can see the slightest bit of cleavage would be classified as offensive Everyone needs to stop being critics of others and look at themselves there isn't any perfect person on this earth, their taste and morals in clothes don't have to be yours, that is what makes us Americans WE HAVE CHOICE if someone wants to look skanky, bummy, they have to live with the way they portray themselves in public no you or I If how a person is dressed isn't against the law no one else should be able to tell them what to wear unless it is your employer, or your mother. Airlines need to do like public high schools do if a student wears something considered inappropriate they have the student either call home for a new outfit or the school has them put on a over sized school themed T- shirt to wear till they leave school for the day, but you don't throw people off plains, buses, trains, or even school for what they are wearing. Bottom line if it isn’t illegal turn your head.

i think it is a little overboard to kick someone off the flight if they have rules regulating such standards. yeah i don't wanna sit next to a guy with his pants down to his knees, but i wouldn't go as far as to say it means he is a terrorist and he is trying to ruin the flight. they could have told people before they bought a ticket, at the gate, going through security, or before boarding the plane to do something about it. instead they have to publicly embarrass these people who may or may not have any clue that their attire "offends" other people. i think they should be allowed to wear what anyone is allowed to wear what is deemed appropriate in a college classroom. but even worse what they don't regulate is someone's body odor! what if you are stuck sitting by the window to a man or woman who is so fat they need to purchase 2 seats and they wreak of staph infection huh? i really think smells trump clothing attire any day! tackle that first! rather sit next to a half naked person that smells clean and fresh than a rotting crotch or butt crack! lol

I believe these flights should be considered family friendly. If your underclothes, your butt, your boobs or your private parts are at all visible - and yes I would include too sheer clothing, sagging too much clothing and "camel-toe" (too tight/small) clothing - then you got no business wearing it on a plane, or anywhere else in public. It honestly doesn't look at all appealing - I don't care who you are.

I feel if a shirt and leggings are comfortable for a long flight I would wear it plus it is easier to get through security then with bulky clothes on and last I remember I live in the USA where I have a right to choice, now a employer has the right to set dress code at the work site for employees but a airline and passengers the passenger is paying for the airline for their service so the passenger isn't a employee the airline shouldn't have the right to tell me or anyone what we can wear it is bad enough they throw out your favorite lotions at check points but what I am wearing is my choice, now I'm not saying go catch a plane but @ss naked but that is not a airline rule that is a law called indecent exposure but everyone needs to mind their own business these people who deemed it was offensive need to watch out because it will make them have to set to standards also maybe I don't like and think the big bulky necklace makes noise and it offends me or those black dress shoes squeak and offends me anything can become offensive.
