The day the law says businesses can't discriminate against people for what they're wearing(except in the case of religions) is the day this country has officially become [edited by Moderator] insane.
From a business point of view airlines are within their rights to deny boarding to anyone that they want to and for almost "any" reason.
That said it might not be a good business policy to not allow people in suits to fly or any other discriminatory policy that leaves people not flying.
But at the end of the day I stand by my skepticism of the original story, I'm willing to bet cash that her attitude is what got her denied boarding, not her cleavage.
My guess is she could have easily flown and them complained afterwards but that she decided to fight them at the terminal.
I see it happen way too often where stories are so lopsided that they don't bear any resemblance to the truth.
Hell I was on NBC a few months ago and they completely twisted my words in a 3 minute segment they took pieces of a 3 hour conversation and put them together to make it sound like doom and gloom.
MSNBC and NBC, journalism integrity they do not possess.
