What an immature little creep. There are plenty of people who are nervous about flying but who have to do so anyway due to family or business or what-have-you.

What an immature little creep. There are plenty of people who are nervous about flying but who have to do so anyway due to family or business or what-have-you. So he shows up in this shirt-- why?? What's really the point? To get in the TSA workers' faces? To look like a tough guy to the scared grandma, who needed one less thing to worry about on the flight? Fuck off. Kudos to the pilot who made a decision based on the comfort of the passengers. Let him walk. It's the same decision pilots make when they dodge a little turbulence. Safety? Not at all. Comfort of the passengers. Easing their mind. Pure and simple.

Exactly. The moral of this story is clearly not to wear t-shirts joking about bombs, terrorists, or killing, when you know you're going to be boarding a plane.

I think you're ranting, and did not actually read the article. This guy clearly did not have the objective of "getting in the TSA workers' faces"; the article clearly states that he had already cleared the TSA checkpoint without incident, and was then challenged by a Delta supervisor. It sounds to me, based on all the facts we have available, that someone got in this guy's face. Not the other way around. So basically, you are making up your entire argument.

  Nope. You are reading his story without thinking. I don't buy his story. He's a punk who was getting off on the whole idea of what he was doing. There are three possibilities in this case: (1) he woke up, possibly hung over, and dressed without thinking; (2) he deliberated picked his shirt knowing he would be dealing with TSA agents, etc. (in your face!) and possibly knowing that he would make some folks nervous and not giving a shit; or (3) he made the choice in #2 but with the aim to antagonize-- in essence, psychologically bullying those around him (Oh, I'm not scared, are you?). I figure that if it was #1 the blog post would have bee a whole lot different. The best I can allow him is that it was a move of immaturity. I am not applauding, regardless of my stance on the TSA and their practices.

  "based on all the facts we have available"? The only facts I get from this page are "there is this guy who is pissed because he got kicked from a plane, allegedly solely for wearing this anti-TSA t-shirt". The article contains a one-sided statement. It may be factually correct, or it may not, but we do not know which.

Are you American? Have you any care for history? Do you honestly think theres something wrong with protesting what you think is an enormous government misstep with a t-shirt? I assure you your grandma is a strong woman. Get real.
