You're not free to move about the country

Unbelievably, Southwest Airlines booted a passenger off one of its flights because she was wearing a t-shirt with pictures of Bush, Cheney and Condi on it and the words, "Meet the Fockers." The passenger has contacted the ACLU and they are investigating.

Here's a clip from USAToday:

"A Washington state woman says she intends to press a civil rights lawsuit against Southwest Airlines for barring her from one of its flights because of a message on her T-shirt. Lorrie Heasley, a lumber saleswoman, was wearing a shirt bearing the pictures of President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice along with a phrase mimicking the recent film, Meet the Fockers. Heasley, who wore the shirt without incident on the first leg of her flight from Los Angeles to Reno, says she wore it as a "gag" to amuse her parents, who were to pick her up at the airport in Portland, Ore. "I just thought it was hilarious," said Heasley, who felt she should have the right to wear it."
