Gun T-shirt 'was a security risk'
 
Have we really gone too far now with Political Correctness

It seems we are heading for a police state, with law dictating left, right and centre, talk about nanny state where will it end.

What the blazes has that got to do with so-called 'political correctness'? Call it what it is; overbearing security theatre and the consequences of giving unaccountable goons unaccountable power.

I bet you could get on a Eurostar in a Transformers t-shirt, though. If they're trying to drive people off airlines they're doing a bang-up job.

WTF?

How can a Transformers t-shirt be a security risk?

Does the t-shirt actually transform into a working gun?


:confused:

Hmmm. I've a t-shirt with a gun on - "Support the fine arts - shoot a rapper" Never considered offensive though. How odd.

Do you think the t-shirt was an excuse, and skin colour was the real reason?

Thankfully not as bad as those american airline security guards who forced a woman to remove her nipple piercing with pliers before they'd let her on the plane (while tittering like little schoolboys as she did it in tears behind a screen).

If a Eurostar train is ever blown up by terrorists expect their security policy to change drastically (and quite possibly illogically) too.

If Eurostar ever changes their security policy drastically and illogically, expect BBKing to change to complaining about it :D
