Man threatened with arrest at Heathrow for wearing Transformers T-shirt
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.
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.

Libs are offensive. They should never be allowed on a plane. :uhsure:

A spokesman for Heathrow operator BAA said: 'If a T-shirt had a rude word or a bomb on it, for example, a passenger may be asked to remove it.
'We are investigating what happened to see if it came under this category.
'If it's offensive, we don't want other passengers upset.' :whatever:
He said there was no record of the incident and the passenger 'certainly didn't make a formal complaint at the time.'

:thatsright:

Zaf is not going to be happy. :-)

I'm guessing the formal complaint will come in the form of a lawsuit.

I think this guard was absolutely right to confront the passenger. Those Transformers shirts are more than meets the eye.
:innocent:
