Terrorist Tees and Hoodies

A man flying to Düsseldorf was not allowed on his plane because he was wearing a French Connection T-shirt featuring Optimus Prime, the 40-foot robot with a gun for an arm. Security felt it constituted a threat and told him he would be arrested if he boarded the plane wearing it. I had a similar situation last November, on a trip to Toronto, when I was detained in customs for wearing my KidRobot hoodie with pictures of guns, crowbars, and sticks of dynamite (above). Those cartoon pictures can be deadly, man! WATCH OUT!
