Has his right to freedom of speech been breached? He's been in trouble with the airline before for the same T-shirt. Is he just being unreasonably provocative?

4. An unnamed British muslim Woman Police Officer has refused to shake hands with a senior police chief at her . She says it's against her religion to touch men but what does that mean for her ability to carry out law enforcement? Can you cuff a drunken oik if touching men is a problem for you?
