No pants, no TRAX
This is almost too stupid to be true. A woman was escorted off a TRAX train by transit cops because other passengers reported she was naked from the waist down.

According to the the Tribune report:
Utah Transit Authority officers asked the woman to get off the train for questioning at about 7:30 a.m. at the 5400 South station in Murray.
It turns out that the suspected succubus was wearing a mini-skirt that was hidden by her jacket. She was allowed to reboard the train.

Update: The incident leaves me with many questions. The first being, why didn't the mortified Transit cops then throw the other passengers off the train for being idiot busybodies? Most of my other question could be answered with a photograph — including if the mini-skirted commuter was a man.

Besides, where's the rule that men can't wear mini-skirts? Sheesh. Though I would support a law that anyone with hideous legs be wrapped in a blanket by a Good-Taste SWAT team and hustled out of the public's sight.*

*Have you noticed that chronically ugly people get no respect in our PC world?

A lady I work with was on this train and say the miniskirt clad passenger – everyone on the train thought it was a MAN not wearing paints. If you are woman wearing a miniskirt and people think you are a MAN - you should not wear a miniskirt. I don’t think asking people to dress appropriately is being a busybody, it is part communities citizenship.

I don't see how anyone would want to wear a micromini skirt and the sit on those seats on a TRAX train. Who know what disease you might pick up?

This is an instance where all that is really needed is a picture. It's like the Supreme Court once said when trying to define obscenity, "I know it when I see it."
