You can get kicked off a plane for that?... interesting... I guess I'll never wear my "If assholes could fly, this place would be an airport" t-shirt on a flight again!
Oregon woman kicked off flight in Reno over offensive shirt
The shirt had pictures of members of the Bush Administration, and a phrase based on the movie "Meet the Fockers," but with one crucial vowel changed.
Maybe the T-shirt makers should have stuck with 'Go Yourself?'

They will let you turn it inside out or change. But the crew can kick you out for any reason. I don't know if I would of kicked her out. But apparently some parents with children complained (according to the news story).

A Portland woman's flight home was stopped short in Reno, all because the message on the T-shirt she was wearing.
Lorrie Heasley claims it's a freedom of speech privilege, but airline officials say the message brings safety concerns.
Heasley, "There are bigger problems in the country, I can't believe people can be so petty."
Heasley boarded her flight Tuesday morning in Los Angeles, headed for Portland, Oregon with a stopover in Reno. But when Southwest Airlines employees asked her to cover her shirt, her stop over became a stop off her flight.

I hope to they refunded her ticket. Good for her, for not taking it off on principle.
