T-shirt update

Well, I've been talking to the nice people at "The Sun" about it. 1 reporter on saturday, and 1 today. Had a Sun photographer come out today to take a few pictures of me in the t-shirt as well. (BTW, he had some interesting stories to tell about other stuff as well). Wasn't looking the best either, since I only got home at 3 in the morning.

The 2nd reporter I just chatted to is just trying to get confirmation from the airport before going forward with the article.

I also did fire off an e-mail to BA reporting the incident and trying to find out about their policy. If they respond I'll let you all know.

I'll either scan in or post a link if it gets published.

For those seeking to confirm the story, I was travelling with 5 work colleagues. 2 of whom are unwilling to corroborate the story publicly, as understandably they are worried about going on a flight "black list" for extra "attention" at security. One's in Ibiza on holiday's so is out of contact(back in a week). One had just started work a week before, so I haven't got her out of work contact details.

The other is more than happy to tell the story to anyone who'll listen. So again, if you're a reporter, happy to put you in touch with him if you need verification, of hear his version of events. Just don't want to make his details publicly available.

EDIT: Just got a call from the Sun, they confirmed with the airport the details, so yep, it'll be published tomorrow.

Just picked up on this story... isn't life just a little bit crazy these days!

Recently I went through Gatwick security with a set of small metal saucepans in my hand luggage... not one comment about them as they were sent through the detectors.

Yet my laptop had to be shut down, battery removed, scanned for traces of explosives, the lot...

You have to wonder!

Well, congratulations! It's quite funny how the airport security acted. They really must hate Transformers, huh?
