Couple kicked off Miami-New York flight because of T-shirt

MIAMI — A couple returning home from a Costa Rican vacation was ejected from an American Airlines flight because the man was wearing a T-shirt depicting a bare breast.

Oscar Arela and his girlfriend, Tala Tow, were removed from Flight 952 on Saturday after he refused to change the shirt or turn it inside out at Miami International Airport. The flight left 90 minutes late without them.

The couple, making a connecting flight from Costa Rica, said nobody on the earlier flight objected to the shirt and claimed the airline violated their constitutional right to free speech.

"It's a picture of a man and woman, and the woman's breast is showing," Tow said. "The flight attendant basically walked up to us and yelled, 'You have to take off that shirt right now.'"

Sounds a bit over the top but then again, without seeing the offensive garment it's hard to know if it was truly in bad taste or not.

How many times do you have to tell people...Never press buttons on airline armrests unless you absolutely know their function. :read this:

They should have listened to George Carlin when he went through the flight safety lecture.
