At what point does airline policy trump national law? American Airlines is about to find out after a Satanist was kicked from an AA flight for wearing a shirt the airline deemed to be offensive [news.com.au]. The person in question is both an atheist and a member of the Satanic Temple who was wearing the shirt, which features the number 666 and an upside cross, to support the non-theistic church. American Airlines agreed to refund the plane tickets and offered apologies. This episode highlights how 'religious freedom' is extended to only some religions.
