Aussie Man Wearing Anti-Bush T-Shirt Not Allowed To Board Flight

An Australian man was denied permission to board a connecting flight
within Australia unless he removed the T-shirt titled "World's #1
Terrorist" with a picture of U.S. President George W. Bush.

The incident occurred on December 2 when Allen Jasson, who lives in
London, was stopped by security personals at an airport while he was en
route to meet his family. He was at the terminal hoping to catch a
connecting flight from Adelaide to Melbourne when his ordeal began.

According to ANI, Jasson was first stopped at London's Heathrow Airport
and forced to remove the T-shirt because it caused "security problem in
light of the present situation."

He faced a similar situation at the Adelaide Airport and felt that both
incidents were attempts to prevent him from exercising his freedom of
expression of his feelings.

"I told her I had the right to express my opinion. I felt I had made my
point and caved in," Jasson said.

However, the Aussie passenger wore his Bush T-Shirt again but was yet
again banned from boarding a subsequent connecting flight.

"It was argued other passengers could be offended. I said it was most
offensive that I would be prevented from expressing my political
views," said the Aussie traveler.

However, a Virgin Blue spokeswoman said "Most people use common sense
and don't go out of their way to offend people."
