An airline passenger claimed that a security guard threatened to arrest him because he was wearing a T-shirt showing a cartoon robot with a gun.
Brad Jayakody, 30, from London, said he was stopped from passing through security at Heathrow's Terminal 5 after his Transformers T-shirt was deemed 'offensive.'
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.
'We are investigating what happened to see if it came under this category.

How moronic.
I just don't see the point of wearing that shirt on a plane. Everyone knows people have been on edge since 9/11...did he really have to wear that shirt that day?
Uh... yeah... I would never wear a comic-book or cartoon t-shirt. *whistles nervously*
why not?
Agreed.
Though a 30 year old probably shouldn't be wearing a Transformers shirt, this rule is awfully silly.
Now a shirt saying "I love terrorists" or "Got C4" might be pushing it.
