I’m late to post about this story, but for those of you who have not heard, there was a 30 year old man named Brad Jayakody who was stopped in a London airport (by security) for wearing a shirt with a transformer on it that was holding a gun. He was told that he could not fly until he changed his shirt. WOW! Thank you homeland security. You guys are really focusing your time and resources on the real dangers in life. I feel much more comfortable knowing that on the front lines of the defense against air travel terrorism are these genius security teams protecting us from t-shirts.
As if it is not bad enough that we take so much crap from the only games in town when it comes to long distance travel (the airlines), now we can’t wear shirts with cartoons on them? What a joke. If this is not the twilight zone yet, it will be soon.
As you will see in this photo of the detained passenger, Brad Jayakody, this shirt was obviously an extreme security threat.

The same thing happened to me when I flew through Heathrow! I got asked by security to either change shirts or turn it inside out because there was a gun on it.
