I know some of yall will probably howl but I wish that more places had the “no boobs/ no belly, no butt showing” rules.

The problem with this case is that Southwest doesn't have that rule. In fact, in the first article posted about this, it was either the girl or her mother called Southwest and asked about dress code. Southwest told her that they don't even have a rule against her flying in just a bikini top. So now you see the problem. They tried to refuse to honor a ticket that she paid for based on a rule that they don't have.

...The problem with this case is that Southwest doesn't have that rule...

All airlines (and trains, buses, public buildings etc.) should have published dress codes, because they do not this case seems arbitrary. Just depending on peoples "good taste" gave us rap music, leisure suites, men in speedos, and the Hillary pants suite - clearly we must have standards. Arbitrary rules with arbitrary enforcement a bad recipe, but there is probably more to the story than is reported.
