\nHe asked her to step off of the plane and when they were in the jetway, he told her that her clothing was inappropriate and asked her to change her clothes.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe told me, \u2018I\u2019m sorry, but you\u2019re going to have to take a later flight. You\u2019re dressed inappropriately. This is a family airline. You\u2019re dressed too provocative to fly on this flight,\u2019 \u201d she told Lauer.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said, \u2018What part of it, the shirt, the skirt? Which part?\u2019 \u201c Ebbert continued, recounting her conversation with Keith about her outfit. \u201cAnd he said, \u2018The whole thing.\u2019\u201c I said, \u2018I didn\u2019t bring any luggage with me. I don\u2019t have anything to change into. What can I do to make sure I can get onto that flight?\u2019 I had a doctor\u2019s appointment. I had to be there.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cHe said \u2018You can go to the gift shop and you can buy something to wear there. Until then, you\u2019re not flying on this flight,\u2019 \u201d Ebbert said.<\/p>\n
A compromise was finally reached when Ebbert promised to pull up her top, which wasn\u2019t showing cleavage to begin with, and pull down her tiny skirt.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
She finally flew with a blanket over her legs! Man, is this Afghanistan\u2019s Taliban country? I have a very high regard for the professionalism of Southwest \u2013 they are really cool bunch of folks.. but this doesnt show well on them! The moral police in the US is as active as in Afghanistan and Iran! <\/p>\n
I am not sure what all Bush has achieved in the \"War against Terror\" \u2013 but he has at least ensured one thing \u2013 that the US is slowly becoming a copy of the very Taliban and Al Qaeda sensibilities that it was fighting AGAINST in the first place!
