They do operate a policy where they will ask people to remove offensive clothing or clothing which could cause unease amongst other passengers (pictures of bombs, plane crashes or whatnot), but, aye, this does seem like stretching that policy a little too far.
Also, I wonder if his dermatological hue swayed any decision. | |

Considering I'm sitting in Afghanistan right now, with plenty of civilians, local and foreign, dotted around wearing a very similar t-shirt (Soundwave from Transformers, likewise with a gun) I find this so far beyond ridiculous I don't even know what that word is. Ridiculi, ridiculous multiple times. Or is that singular? Ridiculi!

But it's Optimus fucking Prime! | |

i also liked the bit, after he changed into a plain shirt he was told "if you put that back on you'll be arrested". sir you're being arrested for... errr.... threatning use of cotton. | |

I can understand if it was actually an offensive shirt, or at the very least a picture of a real person holding a gun, but that is just a total fucking pisstake.

Maybe someones invented Transformer weapons and they thought he was in on it.

If I seen a grown man wearing a Transformers t-shirt I'd assume he's got a mental health issue and wouldn't want him anywhere near my plane. | |

I read about this on Gizmodo yesterday. It was originally a Sun story.
I wouldn't be at all surprised if it's all a load of bullcrap to get £200 out of Murdoch's pocket.
