Free speech applies to the government jailing you for political views (among other things), not to a private business denying service for obscenity.
Southwest was in the right. I also don't think that SWA was obligated to find this person a flight on another airline. She made two distinct choices - to wear the shirt in the first place, and to deny the request to turn the shirt inside out. Either one would have allowed her to continue her trip.
I love seeing bad karma instantly balanced...and on a similar note, I wonder if she got extra security screening for her t-shirt's message!
