I Agree With the Airline

They have to protect the safety of their crew and passengers on the plane - and a man wearing a T-Shirt that says Bush is the number one terrorist might frighten or anger other flyers. This may then cause an argument or fight on a plane, which the crew does not obviously want to deal with. Panic 35,000 feet in the air is a problem. All he had to do was turn the t-shirt inside out or put on something else. Freedom of speech is trumped when it comes to safety. Do you think an airline would allow someone shouting those comments on a plane - no - free speech does not mean you get to say what you want whenever you want. There is a time and place for everything.

"Free speech does not mean you get to say what you want whenever you want."

Dude just go ahead and say you're against free speech when it jeopadizes safety. You don't need to make crazy self-contradictory statements in order to sound like you support free speech despite wanting to put limitations on it.

What is wrong with I said? I am confused over your issue?

I did say freedome of speech is trumped when it comes to safety. What is the problem here?

No, you said free speech includes not being able to say some things at some times. That's not free speech- it's free speech being trumped by other concerns.
