In January, Lisa Archbold was waiting to fly Delta out of Salt Lake City to San Francisco, when she said a gate agent kicked her off the plane for what she wasn't wearing.
As KNX News' Emily Valdez reports, Archbold said, "The gate agent waited until the entire plane was seated, calm and approaching departure. She came to my seat, loudly asked to speak to me in private, and escorted me off the plane as though I were a criminal."
Her crime? Not wearing a bra.
Archbold says she put a dress shirt over her T-shirt and was allowed back on the plane, but the situation has gained the attention of high-profile attorney Gloria Allred.
Now, the duo wants Delta to change what they say is a discriminatory policy.
"Lisa did not present either a safety or security risk; neither her breasts nor any other woman's breasts have ever tried to take over a plane. Breasts are not weapons of war, and it's not a crime for a woman or girl to have them," Allred said.

They want to know where Delta's line is, saying Archbold's shirt was only as revealing as what a man would be permitted to wear. "Will women who wear low-cut t-shirts or blouses or dresses which reveal the shape of their breasts but not their nipples be asked to leave the plane?" Allred asks.
The attorney said they are not suing at this time and just want a meeting with the head of Delta.
