This is rather offensive, and scary to boot. Qantas didn't just ban a guy from wearing an anti-Bush t-shirt on their flights, they defended what they did by banning all anti-Bush speech on their airline, verbal comments as well. Passengers flying Qantas are no longer permitted to say anything that might offend another passenger, including criticism of George Bush, or they are thrown off the airline.
From the BBC:
A Qantas spokesman defended the airline's decision, saying: "Whether made verbally or on a T-shirt, comments with the potential to offend other customers or threaten the security of a Qantas group aircraft will not be tolerated".They didn't just ban t-shirts, they banned all speech, verbal as well. So if I as a customer find Qantas' policy offensive does that mean we can throw them off their airlines? How about a religious extremist customer who is offended when I tell him I'm gay?
