How can this be allowed?
 
My wife is currently on a flight from PBI to DTW. She had boarded and was seated in an isle seat when a young man was boarded naked except for a thong. She ended up with a butt in her face. Sorry no pics. Anybody know how this could be allowed

All the airlines have customer dress codes, which are subjective to some degree.

This should have been dealt with at the gate by the gate agent or the captain.

At this point all you can do is complain after the fact. A photo would be helpful.

Hopefully he does not have a bad case of the mudd butt.

Then again, is there ever a good case of mudd butt?

“Just a thong” implies more than exposed cheeks; are we talking boobies here? Southwest has been in the spotlight for evicting a gal who was way more covered up than that. This lady must have caused a stir. Very interesting that boarding was not denied for 99% nakedness. Such a wardrobe choice might warrant further scrutiny for alcohol, drugs or a generalized detachment from reality. An evac in DTW could prove very chilly for her!

Uh, don't know if this is true or not, but the poster said young man. Of course, I suppose it could be a woman IDENTIFYING as a man.

The young man probably told the gate agent that he “identified” as being fully clothed. Unfortunately that’s all that matters these days.
OTOH, he was probably 1/1024th clothed, therefore it’s a fact.😉

Companies are afraid to rock the boat, and it’s odd, because in most instances the paying customer would agree with their decision. Like in this case, yeah, don’t board the guy. If it comes up on the nightly “news”, I’ll be like hell yeah, way to go Delta, I’ll make sure to use them in the future because it’s nice to travel via an airline that looks out for me...

Airlines are afraid of the "woke" crowd. Probably the kind of person that would have claimed he was discriminated against on twitter.

But perhaps he is the President of a local NMBLA chapter and has friends in the LGTBQ media which will broadcast to the world on Twitter how unjust it is that Delta is prejudiced against their community, to he%@# with the rest of the nation's (not on twitter) opinion.

I like the part where you conflate NMBLA with LGBT. God damn how out of touch do you have to be to post this?

Well done. You win for the most asinine post of the day.
