I do not know - naughty sex is usually the best kind, so perhaps this shift in our cultural mores ain't all that bad. But see what you make of a 180 degree turn Southwest airlines has made compared to 35 years ago. First, read this SF Chronicle article about a little scrap aboard Southwest Airlines recently. Then check out this Southwest TV ad from 1972 All I gotta say is: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Mark Baird Alameda CA

I can't imagine refusing passage to someone because of a dress code violation, but Southwest was also criticized for requiring "large" (fat) passengers to buy two seats. In fairness to them, the fat passenger gets a refund if the flight is not full at the other end. Offensive body odor is another reason they can kick you off, as well as appearing drunk. But a mini-skirt and halter top? Hey stewardess, seat that one by me!

I linked to that (yes, things have changed maybe a little), and then this other 'hotpants' Southwest commercial came up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TR7JApjgIGw I dig the very end. "Greasy black jet exhaust...chickens flappin' in the barnyard!!" (to paraphrase George C. Scott in Dr. Strangelove)

The person in the hot pants and halter top seated next to you (at your request) might be the person who last year would have had to pay for two seats because she takes up half of yours in addition to her own.
