So, how exactly do you hijack a plane with your t-shirt?

Oh yeah, I read about that. I was surprised. The local paper calls it Megatron. I'm not familiar with the Transformers universe, but either way, a picture of a gun being a danger?

They must have weekly quotas... :P

This is ridiculous. I looked at the picture, and at first glance it just looked like a T-shirt that needed to be washed because it had mud or ink on it. I don't know anything about Transformers characters, and would certainly not have mistaken that one for a suicide bomber.

Maybe they have intelligence that Bin Laden is a Transformers fan? :P

Now I wonder what a Megatron action figure would do...

I think a SWAT team will burst in and eliminate it by concentrated gunfire. Perhaps they'd throw some tear gas grenades in before that too :P

Jeez, and I was probably going to end up wearing my Batman t-shirt on the plane in September...  I don't want anyone forcefully looking in my bum, so maybe I won't do that after all.

it was Optimus, for Megatron he would be certainly shot...

This might just affect the sales of cartoon character T-shirts and have a drastic effect on the economy when the entertainment industry suffers.

Hm.
