The guy could have put on a sweatshirt, but still hijacked the plane just as easily as if he was only wearing the original shirt.
If you're going to remove someone from the plane because they could potentially be dangerous, that's one thing. To be afraid of a saying on a shirt, and to ask the man to remove it, while still allowing him to fly, is ridiculous... and pointless.
