Sadly this is not the first occasion for SWA dress code violation. I recall Someone in Reno being kicked of for wearing an Anti-Bush tee-shirt. This was labeled as disruptive too. The passanger was massively inconvenienced by being kicked off the flight. Here's the legal issue. Since you are a private company you can obviously choose to refuse service. The problems arise when there is likely a massive non-uniformity in enforcement of what seems to be a policy passangers are not aware of. If it's SWA policy to have a formal dress code, they should post it for all to see. They should also provide people ( like they have in Saudi Arabia for instance ) to let the passengers know when their attire is inappropriate. This seems to be unique situation for a non-islamic airline. Saudi Air has a policy, but at least people understand this up front.
