Heaven forbid!

I think the airlines should mandate that everyone wears extremely skimpy and skintight outfits on the airplane. That way there is no way that terrorists can hide bombs or weapons. And then then they can get rid of those body scans and pat downs. Woohoo!

Plus that guy was flying first class, so unless you are flying first class all the time you probably won't even see him. I think a 3k ticket should buy some extra privileges.

The guy with the low pants who got arrested was actually assaulting staff.

Maybe dressing like that is that guy's way to avoid having to sit next to crying and screaming kids. Pretty smart, should try that next time.

Parents need to put a muzzle on it.

Well, when this story makes the rounds of news, my guess is U.S. Airways will change their stance pretty quickly. Money talks and there are definitely more families with children flying (or not on U.S. Airways who allows this dress) than men in women's underwear. Boycott probably. So, U.S. Airways will need to "put a muzzle" on this type of inappropriate dress.

Well, a lot of things are relatively "inappropriate" and offensive to the senses. Like being unemployed, ugly, overweight, smelly, or encouraging your kids to scream at the expense of other people. That is why we have developed a degree of tolerance for our fellow human beings.

You equate being "unemployed" with a man choosing to wear women's skimpy underwear on an airplane?

No, they are not equal - Being unemployed is much much worse... I'd much rather wear skimpy underwear on a plane than be unemployed. I'm sure that society would rather have less unemployed people than less people in skimpy clothes.

One does not necessitate the other. In fact they have nothing to do with one another.
