I Hate Airports

JetBlue hates your shirt

JetBlue hates your shirt

An airline passenger forced to cover his Arab shirt was awarded $240,000 in a lawsuit against two TSA officers and JetBlue.  Ironically, the shirt said in Arabic, “We Will Not Be Silent.”  Well, he was forced silent and won money.  Good for him!

Apparently, Raed Jarrad was forced to wear a JetBlue shirt over his Arabic shirt after he was told that other passengers felt uncomfortable with his shirt.  My question is: Why can’t I do this with babies?  I feel uncomfortable with babies sitting next to me on airplanes.  Can you tape their mouth shut?  No?  Oh, so why appease the racist passengers?  Idiots.
