George Bush T-Shirt Prevents Man from Flying
Wednesday 02nd of January 2008 12:02:19 PM
News.com.au reports that Allen Jasson was unable to board a flight from London to Melbourne on December 2, 2007 due to his printed t-shirt. Jasson’s t-shirt had a picture of George Bush with the words, ‘World’s #1 Terrorist’. When Jasson arrived in Heathrow the security check-in clerk told him that he was not able to wear the shirt on the flight because of its sensitive nature. She felt that the shirt could offend others and cause problems on the flight.The Heathrow airport was not the only ones who barred Jasson from boarding a place. After he was told to turn his shirt inside out or purchase another, Jasson decided to buy another shirt. The new shirt had another terrorist implication with the words, ‘London Underground’. When he arrived in Australia he took off the new shirt and put the George Bush shirt on once again. He was approached again and asked to change out his shirt for a connecting flight from Adelaide to Melbourne.
Jasson argued that his shirt was merely an expressive of his political views and that he is entitled to his beliefs. He also argued that his printed t-shirt was freedom of expression and he should be able to wear whatever he wanted. He likes to wear printed t-shirts that make a statement because he enjoys the comments that he receives. The airlines feel that the shirt is offensive to others and could cause a problem on a flight which the airline does not want during these turbulent times.

Good all round. Will order again.
the chance to review the image is great for checking everything over one last time before printing. the time between reviewing the print and delivery was another positive, taking only a couple of days. my friends were really pleased with the finished items. unfortunately i was out when the courier called. he didn't note the date or time of his attempted delivery on his card and he hadn't filled in when or if he would attempt delivery again. on repeatedly phoning the company on a friday between 4:50 and 6 i got no answer. i then tried again on the monday morning, but once again i got no answer. after phoning clothes2order they resolved everything. i realise this is outwith the control of clothes2order, but it soured an otherwise excellent service.
