OK, if they can wear it out in the street and at other publc places why are the airlines so picky about it, especially the sexy apparel. Ithink its catering to the muslims myself. They complain and want the women that dress in a sexy manner to be forced to cover up. Dont doubt this as a very strong possibility. Airports have installed footbaths for muslims and they have allowed muslim women to board with covered faces and wearing tents with no pat downs by security. See we have become 2nd class citizens in our own country while they enjoy privileged status. Fact.-Tyr
Airlines to customers: You can't wear that
Passenger John Gordon: "It's an unspoken rule that when you go out in public, you should be respectful."

— Airlines give many reasons for refusing to let you board, but none stir as much debate as this: How you're dressed.
A woman flying from Las Vegas on Southwest this spring says she was confronted by an airline employee for showing too much cleavage. In another recent case, an American Airlines pilot lectured a passenger because her T-shirt bore a four-letter expletive. She was allowed to keep flying after draping a shawl over the shirt.
Both women told their stories to sympathetic bloggers, and the debate over what you can wear in the air went viral.
It's not always clear what's appropriate. Airlines don't publish dress codes. There are no rules that spell out the highest hemline or the lowest neckline allowed. That can leave passengers guessing how far to push fashion boundaries. Every once in a while the airline says: Not that far.
