I just read this story on the BBC website and thought it might be of interest: Gun T-shirt 'was a security risk'

There's a lot of problems with this one.
The alleged incident happened some weeks ago ( if it happened ).
BAA has no record of the incident and no record of any complaint.
It is alleged to have happened at T5 - which was a matter of national outrage at the time this incident is alleged to have taken place. At the time everything at T5 was totally incompetant.
No other similar case of this kind has been reported either before or after, these T shirts are hardly 'limited edition'.
This incident is alleged to have happened at one of the busiest terminals at one of the busiest airports in the world and in an area that was in full public view. As yet there does not seem to be any independent witness corroboration.
Frankly I have no idea where the truth lies on this one.

Al, this is probably a minor incident hardly worth covering by the TV media, but enough for BBC to cover as an article.
On a quirky note: How DARE those TSA's question an "Optimus prime" T-shirt?? LOL!! Obviously those TSA agents didn't see the Transformers cartoon or movie.
