“At first, sexual harassment lawyer Megan Thomas just wanted to put up a modest
ad above a garbage can in the back of a New York airport terminal to advertise
her law firm's services.

It read: "When HR called it harmless flirting … we called it exhibit A."

But when the airport authority rejected the ad copy and asked her to tone it
down, she filed a lawsuit claiming her free speech rights under the U.S.
constitution had been violated.

A judge agreed, and now her copy is on display on two large ads at New York's
Syracuse Hancock International Airport. One is so massive it takes up two
walls, floor to ceiling.

"Both of them are right in the main part of the airport," Thomas told As It
Happens
 host Nil Köksal. "Everyone can see them right upon coming in."”
