I saw this on the news last night.. Totaly insane. As a caller said, they should concentrate on more serious security matters.

That said, if dress comes into the equation of security, then maybe they should consider banning the wearing of veils and chadrils because I feel more uncomfortable with people wearing those than anything else.

LOLOL!

Hahahaha! Genius!


It's ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. If that were I, I probably would have been blooming stubborn and refused to swap it. In fact, I would probably have questioned why the hell they had been studying my chest so hard to determine that my transformer had a gun in its hand.

Egits.

I liked Gizmodo's report.

Quote:
A spokesman for the British Airports Authority said "If a T-shirt had a rude word or a bomb on it for example, a passenger may be asked to remove it," and that sounds pretty fair. But this was a cartoon giant gun-toting robot... on a T-shirt, not a detailed photo recreation of a Glock that might be mistaken for the real deal at a quick glance.

Looks like Britain's safe from cartoon robot gun attacks, at least.
What you need is a tshirt that says "I'm da bomb"

The world HAS gone bonkers. Who in the hell comes up with these rules...probably some halfwit on £250K a year. Where has our common sense gone?
