Hmmm, this is a tough one...

But, he wouldn't leave. At that point, he IS trespassing. If he would have just left the plane he would not have been arrested.

Once he refused to leave private property, what else should they have done?

I think calling this "indecent exposure" is really stupid, but I'm with everyone else. Pull your damn pants up, especially if the airline is making a big deal about it.

They arrested him for a lot more than that. Sounds like he got a little 'boisterous' in his objections, to being put off.

Gotta give, to get. The ones who always scream about not getting any respect think that it's automatic. Walking around, with your underwear out, is pretty disrespectful (unless you're a VS girl).

As stupid as it is to wear your pants like that... I would give a giant FUCK YOU to the airline if they asked me to do the same thing. Was his ass hanging out? No, it was covered... Seems like someone had a bit of a power trip at this guy's expense... and that power trip fed into some other people's power trips.

I mean, who gives a fuck how this guy wears his pants... does he look ridiculous? Most likely... but it sounds pretty clear that his junk wasn't hanging out. What's next? Your shoes don't match your belt, GTFO!

I didn't look at other airlines and their policies. But, here is just one example.

Are clothed in a manner that would cause discomfort or offense to other passengers,

Mind you, much like the guy being kicked off for saying the word "fuck," we aren't getting the whole story. I can come up with a list of people I would have liked kicked off of many flights I've been on. Hell, there was a couple with a screaming baby that I asked the flight attendant to lock into one of the bathrooms. I didn't mind the screaming child nearly as much as the parents arguing over which one of them were to blame because the child was screaming. OR, what about the morbidly obese woman that wouldn't get up out of her isle seat to let me out to use the restroom [because her knees hurt]. I should have peed on her...

But, it all comes down to people now having unreasonable expectations of those around them. Personally, I'm tired of people being assholes and expecting the world to bow around them.

Yea, that's true. I took the same situation but put him on my porch instead of on his plane and suddenly an arrest seemed like a good solution. You guys are right.

Funny, but people used to actually get dressed up for a flight, and I'm talking about within my lifetime. Now they act like they would on a city bus...... or worse.

Yeah and they'd chain smoke and fuck in the bathroom too... Times have changed...

I don't go onto an airplane looking like a total dirtbag, but I could give a fuck if someone else does... I don't understand why anyone else would give a fuck either... I have never been aware of any dress code prior to any flight...

People still fuck in the washroom.

Air travel is mass transit now, and the airlines are definitely doing their part to further that image by packing in as many people as possible, eliminating services, etc. I don't think the public is entirely to blame there.
