The issue is clearly not political--it's an issue regarding obscenity. I'm sure if the t-shirt had used "fockers" instead of "fuckers", there would have been no problem.

I think a good touchstone would be--would airplanes play any movies onboard that display a word like "fucker"? (They may play movies where cussing is spoken, but since parents can monitor what gets heard by restricting access to headphones, I don't think that's as good a gauge). I don't know the answer to this personally--if anyone else knows, I'd be glad to hear.
