It always amuzes me how on top of things officials normaly are :grin:

It irritates me how on top of jabbing The US members are even when the story starts so far away from here.

It kills me that 3 months ago I got on a plain with an Armada LaserBeak in gun mode for my nephew, a bottle of "Black Death" wine for my Brother, and a 4ft chain doubled over and wrapped around my wallet all crammed in my laptop bag and I got ushered right through

However in the end I feel very secure that major operations such as these are left to the skilled and experienced hands of men and women like this

I'd be honestly surprised if this doesn't end up on a Keith Olbermann "Bushed" segment.

Wow this is the most retarded thing i think the airports let me rephrase that, the US and the UK have ever done. Whats next all your allowed to have when you fly are just a shirt and pants if even that? If terrorests were going to blow up another plan or some thing they would most likely use a cellphone or computer converted into a bomb or gun. Not an action figure. And how is a robot with a gun offensive? So if you have a shirt with lets say a marine or some other armed forces picture or artwork on it and it has a gun or guns in it you can fly? And people still wonder why i dont fly?

As an Autobot why do I bother protecting humans? They can't protect themselves from their own stupidity. That is if I was an actual Autobot. Still, humans are idiot creatures.

Must have been a slow day for the Security department, so they needed to find an outlet for their stupidity.

HONESTLY... Do those guards not feel any shame or stupidity when doing something like that? WHO ARE THE AIRPORT PEOPLE HIRING? IDIOTS!?

Stoping ME over something STUPID LIKE THAT, I would have given them HELL. GRAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! :BANG_HEAD:

If you're going to sneak a tiny gun on a plane, why in the unholy crimson, double barreled, fuel injected, chrome plated, special custom eddition hell would you make it look like a gun? If they want to find tiny guns look for things that look nothing like guns. These idiots have no grasp of reality. Was Optimus going to walk off the guys shirt and start shooting people? "Oh no he's got Yoda on his shirt arrest him before he kills us with his lightsaber!" #-o

I hate this planet

No longer is GI Joe welcome on flights within the US, as he is no longer considered a real American hero, but a dangerous terrorists. The department of homeland security however is pleased to offer free unabated travel to all Cobra agents, as we fully support snakes on a plane.

Well, some of us support snakes on a plane...I said, "Get that Motherf---in movie off my motherf--in TV set!" Then again, if they didn't support Cobra PETA would probably sue for animal cruelty.

Seriously.

They would.

An abnormally large number of PETA members work for the TSA.

But, hey, don't want a Joe figure with his 2 inch gun and .0000000045 caliber ammunition onboard.

This is totally rediculous on all levels...
I can explain in words my thoughts on how stupid this is...

On the one hand, Cobra Commander is going to be all over this like white on rice and we're all doomed.

On the other, maybe they saw that episode where CC had a bunch of troops shrunken down to doll size and mailed in present boxes to world officials. If so, good job!

They must have put some extra stupid cream in those security agents' afternoon doughnut or something, because that is just bat-sh!t-crazy on so many levels I cannot begin to type it all out!

Poor dude cannot board a plane because he has a fictional robot carrying a fictional weapon on his shirt, yet I can mistakenly get a knife through security not once BUT TWICE on a flight going from St Louis Missouri to Phoenix Arizona and back again with not so much as a peep...and to compound my issue, I also had a forgotten lighter in one of the side pockets of my purse that also went unnoticed through the flaming hoops of security in American airports!

The scene from Airplane with the metal detectors comes to mind on this article...and so does a ridiculous chuckle!

My sister saw about this on Sunrise (Australian morning show) and she thought it was so dumb.Was told of this at dinner tonight.

Gees if I was working as security at a airport and saw this guy wearing the tee I'd complement him on having a cool tee. When I wear any of my TF tees I get thumbs up or "cool tee" from people.

Better be careful if I take one of my MLP's in my carry on bag she might be carrying a bomb :p.
