man asked to turn guns and roses shirt inside before going on plane[views:1448][posts:1]_____________________________________ [Sep 11,2006 4:16pm - xanonymousx ""] "The Register reports that keen security personnel at England's Birmingham International Airport ordered a man to turn his t-shirt inside out because it bore a drawing of two crossed guns. Staffordshire design engineer Dave Osbourne was wearing a Guns N Rollers t-shirt (see photo of t-shirt at this location). Guns N Rollers are a team in "an all-female roller derby league located in Portland Oregon", according to their website. Their logo is a tribute to that of hard rocking, hard drinking, legendarily fractious L.A. band GUNS N' ROSES. As he waited to board the flight to Newark, New Jersey, guards told Osbourne the graphic represented a security risk, and could upset other passengers. The 21-year-old said: "I am all for extra security, but this was just plain stupid." Bosses at the airport apologised, admitting guards "over-reacted"." this is from http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermo....aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=58204 [IMG]http://images.thesun.co.uk/picture/0,,2006420166,00.jpgIMG] |
