<Airport security... keeping you safe from deadly Transformers. Last week in London, a security guard apparently threatened to arrest an airline passenger because he was wearing a t-shirt showing a cartoon robot with a gun: Man threatened with arrest at Heathrow for wearing Transformers T-shirt.

30-year-old Brad Jayakody said he was stopped from passing through security at Heathrow's Terminal 5 after his Transformers t-shirt was deemed "offensive." Here's Jayakody's account of the incident, from his blog: No t-shirt, no flight.
As you can see, it's basically an illustration of Optimus Prime from last year's Transformers movie. And yes, he's holding a rather large gun. Madness. It's a cartoon robot, you fools. Besides, come on! It's Optimus frickin' Prime, leader of the Autobots. Anybody who knows anything should know that he's here to protect us. A Megatron shirt, however, would be another thing entirely.
