What is so offensive about it? Who the hell is going to be like: "Oh my, is that what I think it is? My lord how disturbing, a giant robot with a gun. I most certainly will not ride on this plane, the shirt could inspire someone to construct a giant robot with a gun out of common electrical devices in the toilet, and then try and get it to blow it's way into the cockpit"
Good for making it clear that those BAA tossers are complete idiots. Airport security is bullshit all the way. "Why do we have to remove our belts?" I once asked. "In case you are hiding anything in it..." WTF can you hide in a belt, apart from dust?
What these idiots don't realize is that whenever a real terrorist attacks, he is not going to announce it by wearing a t-shirt that says, "Hey look at me I have a bomb"...
These measures are just being implemented to get you accustomed to the ever increasing and expanding power of the government and oppression of the people.
Very soon they will require us to have security cameras installed in our own homes and we are going to have to pay for them too.
Ahhh... So it's you that had the new Heathrow terminal shut down when it first opened, they were checking for gun and bomb 'T' Shirts in everyone's baggage.
Did the security guy have a REAL gun by any chance, I'd have crapped my pants and had to change them too... He'd have seen my weapon then! Tee Hee...
This is bullshit, I used to work in a certain airport (no I'm not saying which one) and I once helped a small child and his elderly mother through the security area. The child was wearing a t-shirt that said 'Soldier of Allah' written on the front of it in big letters. Nobody batted an eyelid.
Were they scared of causing offence? Or just plain stupid?
That's a pretty hilarious situation. Airports are insane lately. I was once asked to change into a longer skirt before I could board a flight. Apparently I was dressed offensively in my (not so tiny) above the knee skirt. Thighs are a threat to national security.
I always liked the idea that I couldn't bring liquids on to a chartered military government flight, there's 80 automatic weapons in the hold of the airplane but I couldn't bring a nailcliper with me onto the plane. oops
The world has gone mad!

Well they have to take Terminal 5's failure to work out of the news.
Instead; they're now arresting passengers to put that in the news instead.
"A poor service"! Aren't BAA retarded.

anybody mentioned that this bloke is brown? I bet he would've been allowed to wear a gun on a t shirt if he was anglo saxon.

I've been quizzed twice by the security goons.
1. Wore a Punisher T-Shirt with the massive skull on it.
2. Wore a zoo york t shirt that was wrote in Arabic with a anti establishment message underneath.
I did however keep em on :)
