Over reaction I'll say.

A three letter word for a donkey was the reason he was removed?!

Bull.

He was removed because he refused a request from a Flight Attendant. The word was incidental, but FAs have the authority to remove unruly passengers for any reason (though they do have to check with the Captain who has the final say).

If this is still the case...

Delta’s Contract of Carriage: RULE 7: REFUSAL TO TRANSPORT: E) Passenger’s Conduct or Condition: 8) When the passenger’s conduct, attire, hygiene or odor creates an unreasonable risk of offense or annoyance to other passengers.

So buy a ticket and check your constitutional rights at the gate.

Screw that.

See my reply #5.

I wish someone would test that in court.

Until then, I will be happy to continue to refuse set foot on an airplane.

Rules of conduct are unconstitutional?

Yes. An airplane is private property. The 1A simply does not apply there. If you think the airplane’s staff grossly overreacted, contact the company later. Or file a lawsuit.

But don’t argue with the staff. You really don’t have that right.

“Build Back Better My Ass” doesn’t contain a reference to God.

So buy your own airplane and make your own rules. You don’t have a constitutional right to get on their airplane.

You lost your constitutional rights once you entered the terminal. It’s been that way for a long time.

A three letter word for a donkey used in that context is a vulgar swear word.

"is a vulgar swear word"


It 'used' to be.
I was gone from the USA for 20+ years.. back then, it was very rare to hear "butt", or anything close, on regular TV.
Now, the words on TV would make a drunken sailor blush.
If I didn't see/hear it myself, I would have never believed it.

According to whom and when?

That’s the problem.

This policy is so arbitrary.

I hope someone tests that in court.

It’s no skin off my nose if someone chooses to look like a lout.

Although Americans are very entitled, there is no right to fly (or drive). It is a privilege and an alternative to walking, etc.

A PRIVATE COMPANY can restrict what you wear on their premises.

As long as Boomers are still alive, who had their mouths washed out with soap by the Greatest Generation for saying it, the word is a swear word.
