Based on the picture I'd be surprised if there was more than bare breasts visible even when fully exposed. Can't really say what prompted the issue; I just have a hard time imagining: 1) another passenger having spotted the picture without straining to see what it was about 2) actually having been offended by it. But you have to keep in mind that not everyone judges these things the same.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15427151.post-1139356315990860252006-02-07T15:51:00.000-08:002006-02-07T15:51:00.000-08:00Well my curiosity is up.

One person's intimate embrace is another's sexual act, I guess. <BR/> <BR/>Speaking from the flight attendant point of view, I cannot imagine why a crew member would take on this battle without something prompting it. We have way too many other things to worry about. I'm wondering if another passenger complained, or how "graphic" it really is.<BR/> <BR/>I'm pretty liberal about this stuff, but am sensitive to the issue when there are kids around, or people complaining. Unless something was truly x-rated, and visible, I wouldn't take on that battle -- unless someone or something forced me to.Fly Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11590611409413930695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15427151.post-1139353641863486362006-02-07T15:07:00.000-08:002006-02-07T15:07:00.000-08:00As I recalled, the tattoo did not actually depict ...As I recalled, the tattoo did not actually depict a sexual act, as confirmed in <A HREF="http://smh.com.au/news/NATIONAL/Mum-complains-about-covering-tattoo/2006/02/07/1139074211383.html" REL="nofollow">this report</A>. I think that puts it even more on a level with the t-shirt with profanity that did not get censored. I don't really know what I think of all this, because I'm from the Netherlands, and nobody would even give this kind of thing a second glance there (or maybe they would, but nobody would complain or act).
