#2While, I understand on principle why he thinks he should be allowed to fly wearing any political statement he wishes - it's the kind of principle I had when I was less than 30. Nowadays, I completely understand and appreciate why passengers don't want to fly on a plane with someone who was wearing a shirt that had the phrases, "Moisture BOMBS", "Terrorists gonna kill us all", "Alert Level Blood Red."
At a certain point, you really don't want, "that guy" flying on your plane, and I'm happy the pilot made the call he did.
In the future - perhaps different attire might be considered before boarding a plane.

#3I don't see why pilots need to have the power to boot passengers. At all. That's why TSA supposedly exists. Racist objections from passengers should not be able to lead to other passengers getting booted from flights.

I feel uncomfortable boarding planes with guys wearing NASCAR hats, subtly racist tattoos, etc.
Can I get those passengers kicked off, too? Or is it only non-white liberals who get booted?

#5Just wear a plain tee.

#6Never, ever, interfere or make light of their mission to prevent water from flying!
Never mind the fact that I am drinking my "bomb juice" to slake my thirst. Or take off my belt, shoes, jacket and remove my laptop (but not my iPad) to have them "screened" by experts.
I think Arijit just made the no-fly list.

#7His point isn't particularly controversial, air security has gone too far.
But he was looking for trouble by wearing that shirt, in his words mocking the "over-reactions to terrorism by the general public". He comes off as an angry person who doesn't sympathize with the genuine (and obvious) fears people may have. Ultimately he weakens his own point by acting so ridiculous; he gave the TSA and Delta a reason to mess with him.

So much for free speech.

In the not too distant future:
Don't wear attire supporting political party X if you plan to leave your house.
