Loaded T-Shirt

STEREOPHONICS frontman KELLY JONES was stopped from boarding a flight at London's Heathrow Airport, after the gun print on his T-shirt sparked a security alert. The HAVE A NICE DAY singer was taken aside by over-vigilant officials after his clothes set off a metal detector. And Jones was left amazed when told his T-shirt - which shows a pistol with a flame coming out of the top - was unsuitable for flying in. Jones explains, "I beeped as I went through the metal detector, so they took my belt, watch and phone off. "The guy takes me aside and says, 'You know you're not supposed to wear that.' I said, 'Not supposed to wear what?' I honestly didn't have a clue." A security man then pointed to the star's T-shirt. Jones adds, "I was like, 'What am I going to do with a gun on a T-shirt?' "So he called his superior over. By this point I was like 'You're having a laugh, mate.' He started asking me if it was embossed with anything, but it wasn't. "I thought he was going to ask me to strip down and change. I mean, it's not as if my T-shirt was loaded."

Was this an ARFcom member?

Nope, but he is a good Welsh Boy. Perhaps he was a little

For those of you keeping score at home, I understand that with only a little stretching it's possible to use the current anti-terrorist control orders to lock people up for wearing the "wrong sort of t-shirt". But then we don't have a first ammendment, and you guys have had members hassled for carrying copies of the constitution through airport security, right?


[1] Vito might get that, and maybe Taffy223, the rest  of y'all can rest assured that it's only funny if you're Welsh.
