[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is anyone on this thread, outside of the rare voice of reason, actually a DC urban mom or dad? It’s like watching a slow-motion alt-right train wreck. And yet, I can’t look away. Anyway, serious question: Can anyone point me to previous incidents in which a family or individual has been kicked off an airline flight for body odor before? [/quote]

There used to be a show called Airline that was a docuseries about Southwest Airlines staff. They had an episode where there was a woman (I want to say she was Indian or Pakistani?) and the people sitting next to her in the waiting area complained (discreetly) to the gate agent about her smell. It turned out that she had just been traveling for a really long time (trains and planes and delays, etc). They very kindly got her some deodorant and a place to wash up etc, but they were pretty clear with her that she would not be able to board the plane otherwise. She was embarrassed, but grateful and apologetic.

I just can not ever imagine going public after being told I smelled to bad to get on a flight. I would be hiding in shame not telling the whole world![/quote]
