Transformers Movie Info
I know security is tight on Airports but really there are limits?
A bloke was told he couldn't board a flight at Heathrow because, wait for it.... he had a t shirt with a gun on it. The T-shirt in question had a picture of a Transformer on it. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/london/7431640.stm This is a bit much I think. Then there is the line, if a passenger complained we'd ask for him to remove it. What right does a passenger have over what another passenger wears?

- Yes it seems silly, but here in the USA, children cannot wear that type of tshirt to school. I think it has to do with the power of suggestion or some such nonsense.
- I completely agree that the security was stupid to make the man change his T-shirt, as it was a fictional robot who is well known.
However, I would like to point out that if you were to weat a T-shirt that was saying all Americans are inbreds (I know, not true), that would be offensive to them and I think they have every right to complain.
- Sentimentally you may be right to spell your feelings,but on other hand security person was acting as law and was loyal to his duty.No harm to obey the instructions for our safety.
- I read this today and thought "What on earth?!".
I've heard of people being refused to be allowed on planes if they were wearing those camouflague army type trousers too.
- So he had to take his T-shirt off before getting on the plane! That's insane.
I suppose airlines can set whatever rules they want, but if flights are to have a dress code, beyond the usual common sense stuff i.e. no pictures of bombs or slogans promoting terrorism, then they should at least publicise it so people can dress appropriately before they leave for the airport.
- A woman at Singapore's Changi airport was asked by her son why there were so many baggage checks. She replied that they were searching for a bomb, loudly enough for security
guards to overhear. They took the whole family to another room for more searches and detained them long enough so they missed their flight. It ruined their holiday!!
It does get a bit silly!!
- they just did not want to take a chance on this potential terrorist.
