Pumps' Perplexities

I have concluded that #1 I must be dumb and
#2 I am also olde fashioned......

There was a recent story in the newspapers
about a female college student who tried to
get on a plane with a "make-believe" bomb
device around her waist.......She was arrested
and her "case" in now in court.....

She is claiming that she has the First
Amendment Right of "free speech" to wear
the imitation bomb......

Where did it all go wrong?.....Does not "speech"
mean to speak or to utter words.....To make
noise from a human mouth......

Since when does wearing a imprinted shirt,
imitation bomb or even burning a flag mean
"free speech"?.......There is not movment of
the mouth involved in any of these three.....
