I disagree. They didn't want this to turn into a big deal. There was a similar incident with a woman whose skirt was too short a year or two ago.

First off, I am always disappointed whenever some petty functionary worries himself over some minor dress issue when there are bigger threats to the security of this country. One would think that airline officials should be troubling themselves over the threat of Islamic terror instead of acting like Islamic terrorists who think scantily clad women are like sizzling steaks.
Here's the story:

Airline tells woman skirt too short to fly
SAN DIEGO -- A 23-year-old woman who boarded a Southwest Airlines plane in a short skirt for a flight to Arizona says she was led off the plane for wearing an outfit that was considered too skimpy.
Kyla Ebbert said a Southwest employee asked her to leave her seat while the plane was preparing to leave San Diego's Lindbergh Field on July 3.
Ebbert, a student who was headed to Tucson for a doctor's appointment, said Friday on NBC's "Today" show that the employee told her she would have to catch a later flight.
"You're dressed inappropriately. This is a family airline. You're too provocative to fly on this plane," she quoted the employee as saying.
"I said, 'What part is it? The shirt? The skirt? Which part?' And he said the whole thing."
Ebbert was eventually allowed back on the plane after offering to adjust her sweater but said she was humiliated and embarrassed.
