Calm Like A Bomb Posted September 11, 2006 Share Posted September 11, 2006 (edited) It wasn't a Guns N' Roses t-shirt T-shirt a risk to air securityBy ANDREW PARKERSeptember 11, 2006A TOURIST was told to turn his T-shirt inside-out at an airport — as a picture of two guns on it was deemed a SECURITY RISK. Dave Osborne, 21, was bound for Newark, New Jersey, when guards hauled him out of the queue for his Guns N Rollers T-shirt.They told him the two pistols on the front could constitute a security risk and upset passengers.He was ordered to turn his top inside out before boarding.The design engineer from Lichfield, Staffs, said: “I am all for extra security but this was just plain stupid.”Last night bosses at Birmingham International Airport apologised and said security guards “over-reacted”.MUSICIANS say a ban on taking instruments as hand luggage will sound the death knell for international concert tours. BBC Symphony Orchestra conductor Mark Elder said performers face “enormous difficulty”. Edited September 11, 2006 by Calm Like A Bomb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
