Southwest boots woman for shirt
Lorrie Heasley to sue for being asked to leave a flight because of her politically charged T-shirt.
NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Southwest Airlines kicked a woman off one of its flights over a political message on her T-shirt, the airline confirmed Thursday, and published reports say the passenger will sue.
Lorrie Heasley, of Woodland, Wash., was asked to leave her flight from Los Angeles to Portland, Ore., Tuesday for wearing a T-shirt with pictures of President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and a phrase similar to the popular film title "Meet the Fockers." A spokesman for Southwest Airlines (up $0.20 to $15.21, Research) told CNN that the airline used the "common sense" approach when they decided to escort Heasley from the plane in Reno, Nevada, during a stopover between Los Angeles and Portland, Ore.

Hannity said that he thought she should be allowed to wear whatever she wants because of freedom of speech. However, he asked her what she thought of little kids seeing the f-word in bright red letters,etc.etc. You know how Hannity gets when he gets hot about something. She hung up eventually.

If I wear a shirt referencing anyone or thing that says "Meet the F$#%ers on it" the crew will probably tell me to cover it, turn it inside out, or take it off. She was asked several times and wanted the publicity obviously! Otherwise she would not have pulled off such a stunt. This is an obvious case of "notice me" disease. The "I want my 15 minutes of fame", urge.
