Should there be a dress code policy when on an airplane

Last week, a 20-year-old football player from the University of New Mexico named Deshon Marman was arrested at San Francisco International Airport.

He was sagging his pants down around his thighs . . . US Airways staff told him he couldn't fly like that . . . the police ended up getting involved . . . and he was ultimately arrested for trespassing.

At the time, it seemed like US Airways was taking a stand against the pants sagging trend, and lots of people applauded them. Now, people aren't really sure WHAT to make of their decision. Here's why . . .

It turns out that six days before Deshon was arrested, US Airways let a DRAG QUEEN fly on the plane . . . in just tight women's underwear and thigh-high stockings.

It was on a flight from Fort Lauderdale, Florida to Phoenix, and another passenger on the flight took a photo of the guy. Because according to her, no one ever would've believed this guy was allowed on her flight without proof.

So why was this guy allowed to fly in just women's underwear, while Deshon was kicked off the flight because his pants were sagging and showing HIS underwear?


Well, the go-to angle seems to be . . . RACE. Deshon's black, the drag queen is white. Deshon's attorney said, quote, "A white man is allowed to fly in underwear, but my client was asked to pull up his pajama pants because they hung below his waist."
