US Airways dress code: Drag, no sag


A middle-aged male passenger dressed in women's underwear and thigh-high stockings recently boarded a US Airways flight and, over the objections of fellow passengers, was allowed to take his seat. Funny, because a few days earlier, college football player DeShon Marmon had been booted from another US Airways flight and arrested after refusing to pull up his baggy sweatpants. "It just shows the hypocrisy involved," said Marmon's lawyer. "A white man is allowed to fly in underwear without question, but my client was asked to pull up his pajama pants because they hung below his waist." [AP, 6/22/11]
