A woman by the name of Ray Lin Howard was boarding her flight and during that whole time not one security guard, TSA agent, or flight attendant commented on how she was dressed, but after about an hour in the air, a conversation about her body would result in a police intervention.
During her flight, Ray Lin told BuzzFeed that she started to feel motion sickness and since she had a sports bra on underneath, she removed her crop top, which is what ended up causing the issue.
"I was approached five minutes after that by the first flight attendant, telling me that I needed to put a shirt on and that just the sports bra alone was inappropriate," she said. "[I put] the shirt back on, and it stayed on the rest of the flight...but I was approached again — about my outfit again — [by a flight attendant] saying that my stomach was showing and that midriffs aren't allowed to be showing on Alaska Airlines flights."
"I think they didn't like seeing a fat person dressed the way I am — I was kind of slut shamed and fat shamed at the same time," she continued. "It's crazy to try to tell people that midriffs are against the dress code when that isn't true."
