Transformers shirt gets jet ban AIRPORT guards stopped a man boarding a plane for wearing a Transformers T-shirt showing a cartoon gun. Brad Jayakody, 30, was shocked when he was told to change his top if he wanted to catch his flight from Heathrows Terminal 5. IT consultant Brad on a British Airways trip with four colleagues to Dusseldorf, Germany asked to see the security chief. He thought the boss would "see sense" but he backed up the decision and threatened him with ARREST. Aussie-born Brad said: "My mate set off the alarms and was searched. "But then the guy told me to stop and said you cannot get on the plane because there is a gun on your T-shirt." The top has the Transformers film character Optimus Prime on the front. Brad, of Bayswater, West London, added: "Its a cartoon robot with a gun as an arm. What was I going to do, use the shirt to pretend I have a gun? "I was flabbergasted. I thought the supervisor would come over and see sense, but he didnt. After I changed he said if I changed back I would be arrested." 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." Just unbelievably petty and pathetic. __________________ ANIME DVD REVIEWS - HERE
