So much for the "Politics is smelly" shirt

I just received this in an email from my grandparents. I'm not sure what the source is.
    OCT. 7 Woman Kicked Off Plane for THIS T-Shirt

    Keep your political opinions off your clothing if you plan to fly Southwest Airlines. A woman flying to Portland, Ore., from Los Angeles with a layover at the Reno-Tahoe International Airport was kicked off a Southwest flight after fellow passengers complained about the T-shirt she was wearing. CNN reports that the shirt depicted images of President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice with an expletive-ridden variation of the movie title "Meet the Fockers."

    Lorrie Heasley, 32, of Woodland, Wash., plans to press a civil rights complaint against Southwest, reports The Associated Press. "I have cousins in Iraq and other relatives going to war," Heasley told the Reno Gazette-Journal. "Here we are trying to free another country, and I have to get off an airplane...over a T-shirt. That's not freedom."
