Transformers T-Shirt deemed a security risk

A man wearing a T-shirt depicting a cartoon character holding a gun was stopped from boarding a flight by the security at Heathrow's Terminal 5.

Brad Jayakody, from Bayswater, central London, said he was "stumped" at the objection to his Transformers T-shirt.

I guess we need to be a bit more blunt and just wear a t-shirt that just says "GUN". Or maybe "GUNSMOKE" is offensive?

So if a t-shirt with a pictured gun is a "security risk" that's pretty much a misdirected use of resources.
