Man: Arrest threat for Transformers shirt

LONDON, June 2 (UPI) – A London man said he was threatened with arrest at a city airport because his “Transformers” T-shirt depicted a cartoon robot with a gun.

Brad Jayakody, 30, said he was passing through security at Heathrow Airport’s Terminal 5 for a business trip to Dusseldorf, Germany, when a guard began joking with him about his “Transformers” shirt, which featured main villain Megatron, The Daily Mail reported Monday.

“Then he explains that since Megatron is holding a gun, I’m not allowed to fly,” he said.

Jayakody said the guard gave him the option of changing his shirt or facing arrest for the “offensive” image.

“It’s a 40-foot tall cartoon robot with a gun as an arm,” Jayakody said. "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?

The passenger said he changed his shirt.

A spokesman for BAA, which runs the airport, said the incident is being investigated.

I thought some on this forum might find this story funny. I know I do. Airport security terrified of a Megatron t-shirt.

Those damn Blue Gloves!

I wouldn’t trust a decepticon either.

I’ve heard two different versions of this story…

In one its Megatron…in the other its Optimus Prime…

Either way we all get reminded of what our governments bring us.

I heard it was Yosemite Sam

and his biscuits were burning.

I must remind you that TSA does not stand for Transportation Security Authority but rather Topgun’s Security Agency.

Well it is there job to protect us from the evil Aliens right???

well in truth its just sad hassle a bunch a people a little more to pretend there’s actually more safety and security when its still the same. just so some people will feel safer and not actually make anyone safer

well okay i’m referring to my country’s air safety, but it’s probably the same most places.

sorry will end rant now but I see eye to eye with Sir George Carlin on this issue
