4th Amendment Wear – Sticking it to the TSA

4th amendment t-shirt

Apparently, if you wear the shirt above when going through one of those machines that shows off your junk at American airports, then the message you can see on the shirt will also show up on the image that the person making sure you aren’t carrying anything dodgy can see. I must admit, I don’t really know if it works, in theory it does, the ink they use has metal in it, and the scanners are intended to show metal objects, but I haven’t seen any confirmation (I also haven’t heard of anything saying it won’t work, of course).

I still think it would take some mighty big balls to walk through the scanner wearing a shirt like this, from what I’ve read (which may have been a tad sensationalist), it feels as if the TSA will take just about anything as an opportunity to take you aside for a longer check and a t-shirt expressing your views may be enough to make your flying experience a bit less comfortable.

Costiness=$45 Buy it at 4th Amendment Wear (other items also available, such as bras, pants, even socks)

Transformers t-shirt + airport = bad idea, for some ridiculous reason

fcuk transformer Transformers t shirt + airport = bad idea, for some ridiculous reason

French Connection (the lovers of mispelt naughty words) released a range of Transformers based tees last year (I think), that I remember thinking were pretty badass when I saw them in a shop, but I didn’t think they’d were so badass that anyone would cause anyone to think that the wearer was a terrorist.

Go through security, get pulled to the side. I’m wearing a French Connection Transformers t-shirt. Bloke starts joking with me is that Megatron. Then he explains that since Megatron is holding a gun, I’m not allowed to fly. WTF? It’s a 40 foot tall cartoon robot with a gun as an arm. There is no way this shirt is offensive in any way, and what I’m going to use the shirt to pretend I have a gun?

Seriously, WTF? I know that security guards have a job to do, but come on, this is just ridiculous, that is obviously Optimus Prime.
