A T-Shirt That Will Get You Past Airport Security
(Today’s been a rather tech-heavy day here at The Adventures of Accordion Guy in the 21st Century, but I promise that the regular stories will keep coming, such as this one…)
You might recall the story of Brad Jayakody, the guy who wasn’t allowed to board his flight at London’s Heathrow airport because it had a picture of the Transformer robot “Megatron”, who appeared to be holding a gun (In fact, Megatron turns into a gun). He was declared a security risk because of his T-shirt:

Stay classy, Fort Lauderdale! No wonder FARK.com has a whole category devoted to Florida alone.
