If I had been behind this guy in the cue it would have made me extremely angry that these security people are wasting their time with stuff like this
No kidding. Depending on my mood I might try to get all the passengers waiting behind to get some kind of chant going, but then everyones so bloody scared of any disturbance at the airport it would only end in me getting arrested.

If I were the guy I would definitely make them show me where, as a passenger, I was informed of the blanket ban on images of cartoon guns on clothing and if they couldn't show me I would refuse to change and then sue their arses.

Grow some balls England, seriously.

This is insane. It's a picture of a cartoon character on a freakin' t-shirt. It's not a real gun, the gun is some crazy Transformers shit ON A T-SHIRT!!!

Honestly, that's just absurd.

How about a shirt that says "Knife" or "hidden shoe knife" ? images/smilies/wacko.gif I guess I´ll be a smartass, and get myself one that says "yuánzǐ, shēngwù hé huàxué wǔq yīn yú xínglǐ"* ... images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

No, its an Ion Blaster. Optimus Prime is almost unrecognizable in the movie save for the helmet. Plus the T-shirt was in black and white.

I don't think it's just the terrorism angle anymore, but the ever increasing pussification of humanity. This lady I work with has a 7 year old son whose dad is in the army. He idolizes his dad, but his school won't let him play with GI Joes or army toys. And he was nearly expelled when his teachers found him drawing pictures of army men shooting at each other on a piece of paper during class. images/smilies/huh.gif

I agree, some people are weak as piss.

I got all wound up the other day watching a news story which was saying that many hospital emergency rooms were overflowing with patients and understaffed/overworked staff. They pretty much blamed the government for underfunding hospitals.
As it turned out, the real story from one of the doctors was because it was the start of winter in australia and all these fuckwits were turning up to emergency with colds. Some dude was complaining that when he took his 20(!) something yearold son in to emergency with a cold he got given some asprin and basically told to piss off home. He didn't feel he was adequately attended to.

Going to the emergency center with a damn common cold and wasting the time of doctors so they can't attend the serious patients and then bitching about not getting attention. images/smilies/dry.gif

Anger levels rising.....
