A passenger says United Airlines crew ordered him to change a controversial T-shirt before he could board a flight. Sam Saadeh, who says the shirt is anti-war in message, reported that a flight attendant told him the garment was offensive and required him to change it before traveling. He said the instruction came prior to boarding his United flight bound for Newark. The incident, as described by Saadeh, centers on airline enforcement of dress rules and crew discretion regarding passenger attire. The sources agree that the passenger was asked to change the shirt at the airport and that boarding depended on complying with the crew’s directive. The reporting focuses on the passenger’s account of what was said and done before departure, including the requirement to change clothing. The available information does not include United’s official response in the provided materials, nor does it detail the exact wording or image on the shirt beyond its anti-war characterization. The case is presented as a dispute over whether the shirt violated company or crew standards for what passengers may wear on board.
