Wtf? That has nothing to do with wearing a shirt that has "fuck" written on it.

I'm willing to bet my bottom dollar that this had more to do with soemone being offended by an attack on their 'man' than the actual language. If it had said "Meet the Fuckers" as a play on the movie, without the faces.. I suspect we wouldn't be hearing this story at all. They're both political statements (Free Tibet, Fuck Bush..) and such is my correlation.
Furthermore, if it was truly upset over the FUCK word, you should thank this idiotic lady for giving you a chance to have an actual CONVERSATION with your children about what is appropriate and what is not. Seeing FUCK on her shirt certainly isn't going to scar them for life and it gives you a prime opportunity to discuss good public behavior..
Education is always better than censorship.
EDIT to add a great quote by JJ:

They are the reason I'm an ass if I don't wear a helmet on my bike. They're the reason I have to be given a big fucking sign informing me that a marble can be a choking hazard. They're the reason I have to prepay for my gas at the pump before I know how much it will cost. They're the reason I have to have CD art ruined with a black and white label telling me that there are dirty words in it. They're the reason I have to be told that big macs aren't good for me. They're the reason there are big fucking signs on vending machines telling me that if I tip over a 500 pound box, it could hurt me. They're the reason I have to be told that shampoo isn't supposed to be ingested. They're the reason the internet is one big fucking shopping mall instead of the wealth of information is was promised to be. They're the reason I'm writing this reply.
These useless hat boxes move to the suburbs, pump out 5 kids named after Disney characters, build fences around their yards, guard their shit from every conceivable intrusion possible, and are convinced that there is a boogey man around every corner. They want this world watered down so their stepford children are "safe". They want everything to be "safe" and perpetuate this stupidity on the rest of us.
If you're worried that your kid is looking at naked women on the internet, then watch your fucking kids. Better yet, don't allow them internet access on their computers and if they are using the internet on your computer, then watch what the hell they're doing.

Similarly, if you're worried that your kid is going to say the fuck word, teach him now to behave appropriately. Don't blame some nitwit on a plane for using a word YOU choose to be offended by.
