    Exactly!!! As a child my fiance was bit in the face by a dog. She's not necessarily "afraid" of dogs, but extremely apprehensive, on edge and uncomfortable around them. Yet she doesn't raise a stink when people have their little doggies with them in the grocery store or Walmart, let alone wear a T-shirt with a picture of a dog.

    When a society gives in to this stuff, where does it stop? When we're all wearing plain white t-shirts? But wait, someone might have had a bad experience with the color white?

    And there's a lot of shirts & other gear that feature pit-bulls too...better ban them.

    So a passenger didn't even complain, it was airport security who took it upon themselves to make this call?

    Personally I think someone who is upset by a mere image of a snake should find another line of work than security.

    They can definitely cause a lot more damage than our snakes!
