If you didn't read the article butch posted, you will see there is a big difference between what the op posted from that situation. In short TSA and JetBlue took it upon themselves to deny an iraqi from boarding due to him wearing a shirt which stated "we will not be silent" in english and in arabic.
eventually they allowed him to board, but he had to sit at the back of the plane. TSA and Jetblue
settled on 240,000.
Actually this article makes the situation clearer, noting that the suit had gone on for 2 1/2 years before the airlines and TSA simply "gave up"

Now to quote butch:
[qoute] In the case described in the link "uncomfortable passengers" was an excuse that, ultimately, did not fly. See...[/quote]
There was nothing in either article that states anything about
"uncomfortable passengers", he was denied by TSA, jetblue simply put him at the back of the plane. I also don't think that guy should claim victory, I would think with a 2 year lawsuit, the ACLU lawyers took a good chunk of that money, not to mention the tax man.
Last time butch, because you don't seem to get it... actually i don't care if you do or don't get it, you will probably go into some long speech about the first amendment blah, blah blah, getting arrested blah blah blah, call the cops blah blah blah, next time take an amtrak blah blah blah.
The OP was not denied boarding because he wrote "Southwest Sucks", he was denied boarding because his behavior made other passengers "uncomfortable" (as stated in his complaint).
