The Daily Mail have given us a possible reason behind the recent missing luggage at the new terminal 5. It appears that T5's security team are moonlighting as fashion police!
This man recently was stopped at T5 and told he could not board the plane, the reason? Did he have a bomb? No! Did he threaten someone? No! Was he carrying a weapon? No his Transformers T-shirt was deemed 'offensive'. Now I know some people didn't like the Tranformers movie, but on the whole it was well recieved, and to be honest was a suprise hit with the general public, rather just it's fanboys and target demographic.
Anway it's a good t-shirt, grey is neutral and the design on it is subtle but stylish....oh! Hang On is Optimus Prime holding a weapon? Is that a gun? It looks like a gun...well a space themed gun, but a gun all the same. I simply cannot let any children see this as they might go out and do drive by's, and grow up to become crack whores. In 20 years they will have to make a life changing decision and the memory of this t-shirt will lead there lives into a downward spiral from which there is no return.
What is this world coming too when a man is made to change his T-Shirt to avoid arrest, and be able to fly to Germany just because there is a gun-like object pictured on his T-shirt. I can understand if it was my university friend who had a habit of wearing a "Hitler World Tour - 1939-1945" t-shirt everywhere, that could be deemed offensive, but a image from a film that was distributed worldwide is just ridiculous.
So I imagine most of T5's staff are going through all of those lost cases and removing any Hollywood themed t-shirts.
