Just because a shirt has writing on it in a language you can't read, doesn't make you a terrorists. I would have never covered up the shirt. I believe freedom of speech or freedom of expression covers the shirt. I would have also walked around and found everyone boarding the plane that had any writing on their shirts and ask the airline to make those people cover their shirts as well.
(trust me, I would do this, I have done it in a different situation)
2nd issue -
If the passengers were cleared by the FBI (which I never knew a person needed FBI clearance to board a plane) and were US citizens, they should have never been asked to leave the plane. They had just as much a right to make statements about security as a white man does - I believe that again would be covered under freedom of speech.
What totally blows my mind is that there is this fear of anyone Arab, but why not white men? Timothy McVay is just as much a terrorists as the hijackers of 9/11. Oh, but we can't look at that cause he was white?
Shit like this just pisses me off more! And we wonder how we are alienating ourselves from the rest of the world?
