Qantas Denies Boarding to Man Wearing Anti-President Bush Shirt

By | January 23, 2007

An Australian man, Allen Jasson, is considering suing Qantas, which denied him boarding because he would not remove his t-shirt, which called President George W. Bush the “World’s #1 Terrorist.” He is currently unsure under what law, although he was aware beforehand that Qantas would take offense.
Qantas said in a statement, “Whether made verbally or on a T-shirt, comments with the potential to offend other customers or threaten the security of a Qantas group aircraft will not be tolerated.” Freedom of speech stops at the door to the plane.
