Airlines have a way of creeping into the news any time a passenger plays too much "Words With Friends" or allows his pants to sag a little too much. This week is no different. According to Jezebel, a woman was hassled on a 6 a.m. Southwest flight from Las Vegas to New York a few weeks ago because she was boasting too much boobage. You know... cleavage, baggage, breastage... She was showing too much of her twins. At least, that's what the airline said.
A woman going by the name Avital told Jezebel that she was told her outfit was "inappropriate" because it showed too much of her chest, but she didn't let that deter her. She boarded the plane anyway and, in her own words, "Lo and behold, the plane didn't fall out of the sky... My cleavage did not interfere with the plane's ability to function properly." Do you think Avital deserved to be called out by Southwest Airlines for having too much cleavage, or is her outfit perfectly acceptable?

Despite claims and occasional stories to the contrary, airlines routinely let huge people board aircraft when they have zero chance of fitting in the seats they bought. THIS is a safety issue AND a major concern for the poor adjacent passenger who gets less space than they paid for. And yet it happens all the time.
I have no problem with a passenger sitting next to me with all that cleavage. As long as she fits in her seat without raising the armrest, I really don't care.
1 Corinthians 12 >>25That there should be no schism in the body; but that the members should have the same care one for another
King James Version
23And those members of the body, which we think to be less honourable, upon these we bestow more abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more abundant comeliness
The parts we see as less honorable have been the genitalia.
The uncomely parts have been the genitalia.
They need to be given abundant comeliness.
Then God will be in us accepting them
Furry artists will not be turned away like they have been turned away in the past.
bareass, or completely nude, then, bonefide safety issues aside, it is hardly any airlines concern, be they Southwest or otherwise, how any woman or man dresses for flying as
a passenger on any of their aircraft. A woman should have the right to board clad only in
a bikini and shoes both hassle free and critisism free. (You have to admit that bikinis
would also make security clearance a breeze as well).
Tits showing is harmless. That's why the devil in men does not want them to be seen. Have humans get over nudity, and no one would have to be X rayed again at the airport.
do.
Now this is cleavage
If the woman was black or hispanic do you really think the airline would have done anything? I seriously doubt it.
Southwest is usually smarter than this. My guess is their legal department will be instructing gate agents and flight attendants to let the police deal with any forms of public nudity and not to impose arbitrary standards on anyone. After all, how is boarding the aircraft any different than walking around the airport?
As for that pic, I think that's a very unfair angle... most of the time you're talking about cleavage... the angle isn't at his waist (like that pic was taken) ... as for the dress that's a big V and would show a good bit of "side boob" as some call it, if they had an angle above her shoulder like most fair angles would be.
