How and why did this story make the news? From the headlines one would think that the lounge had a stupid discriminatory policy or was just being plain mean by denying a cute little girl access to a lounge her parents had already paid t enter.
I'm sure the lounge didn't call the press and I doubt the press had reporters there waiting for a big story. The whole problem is the lounge had a policy in place which is provided to all customers and this lady choose to ignore it assuming that she is the exception to the rule.
What is really difficult is for the lounge to make a policy that clothing with offensive pictures or language is prohibited. What one employee of the lounge would determine to be offensive would be okay with another and maybe what would be acceptable to the lounge would be offensive to a customer. The lounge decided it best to prohibit all clothing with writing and/or pictures. I know it is just Mickey and Minnie Mouse but Mickey has been banned in some countries because he doesn't wear pants.
What the headlines should have stated was "Woman's children banned from airport lounge because the Mother neglected to read or decided not to follow lounge policy." The truth is you are really not that special and the rules do apply to you.
