Today I read another report of out of control security concerns at airports.  This one is fairly unbeleivable as it centers on a guy wearing a Transformers T-shirt.  Yes, you heard me correctly... Transformers, you know the cartoon about robots that change into vehicles? Yah, he was wearing that t-shirt and was almost arrested at Heathrow.  This borders on the ridiculous.

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?

He was cooperative with the supervisor and took off the the 'offensive' T-shirt, replacing it with another shirt in his carry on luggage.

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.

'If it's offensive, we don't want other passengers upset.'
