- SeaweedWater, on 06/03/2008, -4/+457Heathrow is run by Decepticons?
- The_Wallbanger, on 06/02/2008, -8/+442That sucks. I'm going to assume that the darker skin and foreign sounding surname didn't help much either.
- retr0grade, on 06/02/2008, -28/+360OMFG this is the goat-sucking pinnacle of idiocy. Bumping guys off flights because of their t-shirts, while none of the container ships entering US ports are checked at all. Security theater.
- leubstop, on 06/03/2008, -2/+245i bet they were stunned as to why the metal detectors didnt identify the threat
- znicket, on 06/03/2008, -1/+221Small people with small minds in a position of small power. It's always a bad combination.

..................................., - borez, on 06/03/2008, -1/+180This is bollocks. I fly a lot and quite frankly I'm sick of getting ***** from sercurity at Heathrow, from having to dump all my toiletries because they weren't in a clear plastic bag, to losing countless maglights coz they don't like the look of them ( FTR I need them for my job and they cost a packet to replace ) to having my laptop confiscated ( I later got it back ) because I had a copy of the film Wargames on the hard drive ( Wargames for ***** sake?? ) .
Theses people need to get off their frigging high horses and realise that an airplane is just a bus with bloody wings. - rpi22, on 06/02/2008, -19/+179Duh, don't you understand that the TSA operates on "cartoon physics" ... all you gotta do is draw a picture in thin air and it instantly turns into a real, tangible object!
- lemur, on 06/03/2008, -3/+149This is just ridiculous... I mean, even if it actually were real, an Autobot would never harm innocent passengers! It would be like this really fantastic security boost. I'm surprised security isn't handing these t-shirts out to ALL the passengers.
- spyd3rweb, on 06/03/2008, -3/+126The T-shirt could transform into a gun, you never know.
- AndrewDB, on 06/03/2008, -4/+104FTA: "If a T-shirt had a rude word or a bomb on it, for example, a passenger may be asked to remove it," he said.
Excuse me? I understand the rude word one, but you can't say for example wear a TShirt with a Babomb (from Mario), to use an extreme example.. on it?
Are we /really/ getting that pathetic, and paranoid?..
Give me a break. - gracias, on 06/03/2008, -3/+101Who wears a gun belt buckle anywhere?
- APOI, on 06/03/2008, -12/+109I had a similar experience boarding a flight to NY wearing a gun belt buckle. They pulled me out of the line, had me take off my belt and then the genius TSA officer holds it up and asks me with an accusatory tone, "what's this?". It's a belt buckle. "You can't wear this on my plane!" But it's obviously not real. "I don't care, you're going to have to put it in your suitcase or leave it here". So I had to put it in my suit case, lest I try and hijack the plane with a belt buckle shaped like a gun. "Don't bring this on the plane again", he warned me as I headed down the ramp to the plane. Idiots.
- scabbers, on 06/03/2008, -5/+77They shot a Brazilian electrician in the head for looking a bit foreign.
- StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -0/+71He should have pointed out that freedom is the right of all sentient beings.
- Rijnzael, on 06/03/2008, -0/+69Don't say that! The sooner they realize the similarity between buses and aircraft, the sooner we'll have the same rent-a-cops at bus stations!
- Tangaroa, on 06/03/2008, -2/+69This is even dumber than:

http://www.citypaper.net/articles/101801/news.godf ... - DigitalJ3di, on 06/03/2008, -1/+65I wonder if I had a tattoo of a gun, they would tell me to cover it?
- WatchDragon, on 06/03/2008, -3/+64They fail to mention while they were worried about this T-Shirt, Yosemite Sam, Lara Croft and Rambo all snuck onto the plane.
- pintomp3, on 06/03/2008, -3/+61that is some t-shirt. keeps him from boarding and from getting laid.
- S1ngular1ty1, on 06/03/2008, -1/+53What is this world coming to? We are all turning into pansies.
- wphj, on 06/03/2008, -3/+55People give America a lot of crap about a lot of things, but it seems to me, from Digg stories at least, that the UK has its fair share of "nanny state" privacy invasion issues.
- KingGorilla, on 06/03/2008, -1/+52I think the correct term is bob-omb
- michael1406, on 06/03/2008, -0/+49Take it off or you aren't getting on the plane.
- steveoco, on 06/03/2008, -1/+50I can think of about 4 shirts in my drawers which could get the same stupid response. I am sure at least one in ten teenagers have a shirt which could do the same... the terrorists have won for sure.
- Hangly, on 06/03/2008, -0/+48No, they'll just take you outside and shoot you.
- LastVisibleDog, on 06/03/2008, -9/+53This happen in the old country - England - not the US. You hate-America-firsters need to expand your script
- pinguwin, on 06/03/2008, -1/+44when bureacrats start using terms like "my plane", it's time to start worrying. No wait, that was a silly statement, it was time to worry years ago with these folks.
- pavanb500, on 06/03/2008, -0/+39As long as you don't do it in Boston....home of the HOLY ***** IT'S A LIGHT UP CARTOON DUDE scare
- inactive, on 06/03/2008, -1/+37so to prevent people from being offensive.. they act it the most offensive manner possible?
- jebus123, on 06/03/2008, -0/+35They probably let him keep the shirt in his carry on bag where he can take it out during the flight and easily take over the plane with it. Security theater!!
- blackmesa, on 06/03/2008, -3/+37Something needs to be done about this. It's absurd. They'll just keep taking and taking until someone finally stops them. How far are we letting this go?? Why can't we stop this absurd security theatre?
- conna, on 06/03/2008, -1/+35Just further proof that the real terrorist have achieved their goals. If that does not get you mad, look at what your hard earned taxes are buying. Thugged out mall security guards tormenting a growing population of pussies that don't question why the people in charge freak out over scary cartoons and toothpaste.
- chanop, on 06/03/2008, -0/+32You can't say that on MY digg
- borez, on 06/03/2008, -0/+31Because of the alias file on the desktop called WarG ( if I remember rightly ) and the fact it wouldn't open for them ( some broken alias crap ) , basically they had no idea what the ***** they were doing.
FTR: It's even worse for my mate Andy who looks Muslim and carries around a guitar pedal board for gigs, he gets marched off on a regular basis. - craighoxton, on 06/03/2008, -1/+32They were more afraid of the brown skin than the grey t-shirt
- paulvq, on 06/03/2008, -1/+32That's what she said.
- bcrockett, on 06/03/2008, -2/+29You, and the other comments like you, are the reason I rarely listen to political a rant on Digg. If you don't know where Heathrow is...stay in school, kid.
- borez, on 06/03/2008, -0/+27Just revisiting my childhood
- chedabob, on 06/03/2008, -1/+27What's the deal with copy of Wargames?
- pavanb500, on 06/03/2008, -0/+25Bingo! A Terrorist's goal isn't necessarily to kill people...it's to...terrorize.
- chillypacman, on 06/03/2008, -4/+27if he spelled spelled properly
- StuartGibson, on 06/14/2009, -0/+22There's erring on the side of paranoia and refusing to allow someone on a plane because their t-shirt has a PICTURE of a TOY holding a TOY GUN on it. That isn't paranoia, it's retarded.
- DesertTripper, on 06/03/2008, -1/+23They are afraid that somebody might watch WarGames on the plane and thereby learn to use a doctor's dictation recorder to record the keypresses of the access to the cockpit, then reprogram the plane's computer to play a game of Global Thermonuclear War, although it would rather just play a nice game of chess. (or Flight Simulator X, for that matter!)
CPE 1704 TKS for the win! - 9bpm9, on 06/03/2008, -9/+31The same country that doesn't allow people to say Scientology and cult in the same sentence? I can expect it.
- Taktic, on 06/03/2008, -2/+23There. The world went officially nuts.
Paranoid lunatics. Man I'd throw a helluva fit. - inactive, on 06/03/2008, -1/+22The stupidity of those in authority never ceases to amaze me. Aren't you glad American authorities aren't this devoid of common sense? Wait .. don't answer that.
- luchid, on 06/03/2008, -1/+22Scared of a drawing of a robot with an imaginary gun? Really? It's people like you who keep allowing ***** like this to happen. You should be taken out and shot for the greater good.
