Airline Passenger's anti-Bush t-shirt banned

Thursday 14th of December 2006 02:15:00 PM

An Australian was banned from two flights unless he removed the t-shirt he was wearing, which depicted George W Bush as a terrorist.

Sporting a plain black t-shirt emblazoned with the US president's face and the logo "World's #1 Terrorist", Allen Jasson was told he would not be able to board a flight from London to Melbourne wearing the tee-shirt.

He was later told he could not board a connecting flight within Australia unless he removed the tee, reports the Herald Sun.

The two airlines involved - Qantas and Virgin Blue respectively - said the shirt, which was described as a security issue, could have potentially offended the sensibilities of other passengers.

"The woman at the security check-in [at Heathrow] just said to me, 'You are not wearing that'," Mr Jasson told the newspaper.

"I told her I had the right to express my opinion," he added.

"She called other security and other people got involved. Ultimately, they said it was a security issue . . . in light of the present situation."

He removed the tee-shirt and since his clothes had been checked in, bought another for the flight, changing back upon landing in Australia.
