Feel free to wear your Superman/Green Hornet (or BatGirl) unitard anytime you want.

Seeing how the football player was flying out of San Francisco where anything male is despised THAT incident comes as no surprise.

Six days before a college football player was arrested at San Francisco International Airport in a dispute that began when a US Airways employee asked him to pull up his sagging pants, a man who was wearing little but women's undergarments was allowed to fly the airline, a US Airways spokeswoman conceded Tuesday.

US Airways has some explaining to do.

I hear North Korea might have some strict rules about what people wear, as does Saudi Arabia.

Yes. This 'liberty-crap' needs to be reigned in at once.

Who wants to live in a society where people are free to do things as crazy as dress the way they want?

Don't parse my words... I typed "gender-neutral-gay liberty-crap" NO HYPHEN : "GAY LIBERTY" crap. Don't know too many non-gender confused men who are going to get on a jet and fly across the country in women's under wear. Not even drunk because a man can't board a plane in women's underwear drunk. This guy was sober which makes it even more disturbing.

It's about having decorum.

But again, that's fine - people can choose what airline they want to fly on so they don't have to see freaks in women's underwear.

The football player's saggy pants was completely unacceptable attire, while this fruitcake gets on the jet wearing electric blue undies.

I'm not going to fly US Airways. When more people choose what they'll tolerate and it hits them in the wallet then they'll have to develop some standards.

There is obviously no law against being an inappropriate moron, or the idiot in the OP would have been arrested a long time ago. A lot of people like testing the borders of what is socially acceptable, especially the young, but this jerk has clearly crossed the line.

When in public situations there is a conduct of behaivor that is expected. It is called "decorum." Those who are not capable of demonstrating the minimum appropriate public behavior should be removed from society.

Decorum. Now there is a word most people have never heard of.
I don't know about removing them from society, but schooling them on decorum is certainly necessary. We actually loose more freedoms by being able to do whatever moronic thing we can think of than we gain. People really don't get that. Every law or rule we have was made in response to someone, somewhere, being an idiot and not understanding how to live among other people. Or just not caring.

Just keep your eyes to yourself and all will be okay. Better than sitting with a smelly person or with crying children.
