    Jesus Christ! Those idiotic dickheads are going after the wrong people. Instead of harassing the guy with the shirt, they should be screening out the people who are so fucking emotionally unstable that they would be upset by a guy’s goddamn t-shirt.

    But, I suppose not everyone can be as psychologically well-balanced as I am…

    I’m so glad I don’t live there anymore. As much as the Bush years have been a nightmare, at least the TSA folks aren’t that ridiculous.

    Heaven help us if someone were to wear a Go-bot shirt.

    I find t-shirts without pictures of guns on them offensive. Who is going to protect me?

    Kwix is right. If they can’t explain what kind of gun is on his shirt and why this is a security threat, they should be fired for intelligence insufficient to properly preform their duties.

    Hush now baby, baby, don’t you cry
    Mother’s gonna make all your nightmares come true
    Mother’s gonna put all her fears into you
    Mother’s gonna keep you right here under her wing
    She won’t let you fly, but she might let you sing
    Mama will keep baby cozy and warm
    Ooooh baby ooooh baby ooooh baby
    Of course mama’ll help to build the wall
