From the DailyMail.uk:
An airline passenger claimed that a security guard threatened to arrest him because he was wearing a T-shirt showing a cartoon robot with a gun.This is just getting ridiculous; what kind of a world do we live in when a 30-year-old IT consultant doesn't know the difference between Megatron and Optimus Prime? I weep for the future. Oh, and all this airport security overkill has become incredibly stupid as well. Seriously.Brad Jayakody, 30, from London, said he was stopped from passing through security at Heathrow's Terminal 5 after his Transformers T-shirt was deemed 'offensive.'
The IT consultant was set to fly off on a business trip to Dusseldorf in Germany when he was pulled to one side.Mr Jayakody said the first guard started joking with him about the Transformers character depicted on his French Connection T-shirt.
'Then he explains that since Megatron is holding a gun, I'm not allowed to fly,' he said.
'It's a 40ft tall cartoon robot with a gun as an arm. There is no way this shirt is offensive in any way, and what I'm going to use the shirt to pretend I have a gun?

dude if I could be able to hold a plane hostage with my key chain pocket knife(maybe 3/4 of an inch) and a tube of aquafresh, then the shirt has got to be a security risk. What if he had it tattooed on his forearm? "you can never fly again!"

I once knocked over a 7-11 just by intimidating the clerk with a pretty badass belt buckle I was wearing.
