I am surprised they didn't try charging him with carrying a concealed weapon once he turned it inside out.

T-shirt a risk to air security

By ANDREW PARKER

A TOURIST was told to turn his T-shirt inside-out at an airport — as a picture of two guns on it was deemed a SECURITY RISK.

Dave Osborne, 21, was bound for Newark, New Jersey, when guards hauled him out of the queue for his Guns N Rollers T-shirt.

They told him the two pistols on the front could constitute a security risk and upset passengers.

He was ordered to turn his top inside out before boarding.

The design engineer from Lichfield, Staffs, said: “I am all for extra security but this was just plain stupid.”

Last night bosses at Birmingham International Airport apologised and said security guards “over-reacted”.

I would understand this better if the traveler was a well built Chick. A T-Shirt, even one that has stupid guns on it, is NOT a security risk. I know the Brits are antsy. But that's just too much!

Who are Guns and Rollers?

Who are Guns and Rollers?

From what I can gather a female roller derby team.

For that he should of had to change shirts.......... but not cause it had guns drawn on it.
