First of all, I am a firm believer in freedom of speech and expression. It's juvenile, perhaps, but there are no laws that prevent the donning of such clothing. It isn't even "patently offensive", whatever that means to the PC crowd these days.
Yes, the airline is a private company, however it is also a provider of a service that is legally (oft times) defined as being necessary to the growth, well-being and economic viability of a country. Maybe the government needs to scrap Amtrak and build an airline so people don't have to put up with this shit.
I don't wear "lame humor" shirts myself, but I fully support people's rights to do so. Frankly, if someone wants to wear a shirt that says "Fuck niggers and fags", more power to them. I think they're an idiot, but I also believe that the reason people in the military die overseas is to help (okay, maybe not so much with this war, but generally speaking) ensure their freedom to do so.
