\"\"On September 1, Green Day\u2019s frontman Billie Joe Armstrong was removed from a Southwest Airlines flight<\/a> because his pants were too saggy.\u00a0 Two months ago a football player from the University of New Mexico was also removed from a flight, this time by US Airways.\u00a0 With these events taking place in relatively rapid succession, the blogosphere lit up with complaints about the airlines.\u00a0 There are even online petitions and calls for both men to sue their respective airlines.<\/p>\n

I view this no differently than the signs I saw as a kid walking into restaurants: \u201cNo Shirt, No Shoes, No Service.\u201d\u00a0 A private company has a right to enforce a dress code on patrons.<\/p>\n
