"Freedom Or Death"
T-shirt Described As "An Incitement To Terrorism"
By Airport Security
T-shirt terrorists strike again

 A
British holidaymaker was ordered to cover up his t-shirt by
airport security guards at London's Gatwick airport, who described
the slogan "Freedom or Death" as "threatening"
and "an incitement to terrorism".
38-year-old father of two, Lloyd Berks, was ordered to obscure
the shirt while passing through security gates on his way to
a flight to Austria.
The shirt (pictured) is a white Levi Strauss design, found
in hundreds of high street stores across the country.
It depicts a skeleton, flanked by two revolvers, with the famous
phrase emblazoned above in turquoise lettering.
"First they told me take my shoes off and checked my wallet,
which is understandable," Berks told the UK
Daily Mail.
"Then they said airlines might be worried by my T-shirt
because its "threatening". I thought they were joking
at first. I was with my family. I was hardly a terrorist risk."
"It's an attack on people's civil liberties. What has
happened to common sense? Have people forgotten how to use it?"
Mr Berks added.
We can't be having people such as Mr Berks flouting their freedom
in such a manner now can we? God forbid. Others may begin to
think they are also free.
Airport officials have since apologised to Mr Berks and admitted
the incident was unnecessary.
Far from being an isolated incident, this case is one of a
spate of attacks on behalf of a dangerous new global terrorist
group identified only as the "T-shirt wearing terrorists".
Previous cases include that of Brad Jayakody, 30, from London,
who was thankfully prevented from passing through security at
Heathrow's Terminal 5, and threatened with arrest, after his
Transformers
T-shirt was deemed "offensive".
Mr Jayakody said that at first the guard started joking with
him about the Transformers character depicted on his French
Connection T-shirt.
"Then he explains that since Megatron is holding a gun,
I'm not allowed to fly," he said.
It appears that Britain is safe from cartoon robot gun attacks,
at least. I for one will no longer be cowering beneath the duvet
every night at the thought of Starscream breaking through British
air defenses and utilizing his signature weapon, the null ray,
which can disrupt the flow of electricity in any circuitry it
hits for brief periods, effectively rendering any electronic
device or machine temporarily inoperable.
Consider also the
case of a student at Bellbrook High School in Ohio.
The unnamed teenager chose to wear a T-shirt with the words
"not my president" superimposed over a picture of
President Bush. When a crosshair was added to the design, two
students came forward and complained to the school administrators.
The Assistant Principal then made the decision to call the FBI
because the high school kid could have been a terrorist planning
to assassinate Bush. What's even more absurd is that the FBI
actually treated the case with the utmost significance and the
investigation was eventually turned over to the Secret Service!
In a gut-wrenching climax to the story, the two
kids who snitched on the teenage terrorist were praised as heroes.
The Assistant Principal said they had complied with the demand
of the government - that citizens stand together with homeland
security and keep an eye out for potential terrorist activity,
for this, he was proud of them.
Now take the case of a 14 year old from Lancaster,
PA who was reprimanded
for wearing a t-shirt with the image of a gun,
printed on the front and back — a shirt the Penn Manor
freshman wore to honor his uncle, a soldier in the U.S. Army
fighting in Iraq.
How about the 80
year veteran who was arrested at a mall for wearing
an anti-war t-shirt. The shirt was splotched with red and emblazoned
with a simple message about the fatalities of the Iraq war:
"4,000 troops, 1 million Iraqis dead. Enough."
Take the British tourist who was
forced to turn his t-shirt inside out by airport
security who told him the two pistols on the front could constitute
a security risk and upset passengers.
Consider the t-shirt
seller from New Orleans who was investigated by
Homeland Security officials for selling anti-FEMA T-shirts,
a reflection of his frustration with the federal government's
response to the storm that left him homeless and unemployed.
Or the Australian man who was barred
from a London-Melbourne flight unless he removed
a T-shirt depicting George Bush as "the world's number
one terrorist".
Another potential terrorist was apprehended when
a lawyer was arrested
and charged with trespassing at a public mall in
the state of New York after refusing to take off a T-shirt he
had just purchased at the mall bearing the words "Give
Peace A Chance".
Two more terrorists were identified as a Texas couple arrested
and charged with trespassing in 2004 after they
refused to cover up homemade T-shirts with anti-Bush slogans.
The front of the T-shirts bore the international symbol for
"no" superimposed over the word "Bush."
The back of Nicole Rank's T-shirt said "Love America, Hate
Bush." On the back of Jeffery Rank's T-shirt was the message
"Regime Change Starts at Home."
Back
in Britain, a 20 year old gamekeeper was arrested
at a Game Fair in 2005 for wearing a t-shirt that read "Bollocks
to Blair". Charlotte Denis, from Gloucestershire, was stopped
by police as she left the Countryside Alliance stand because
of the "offensive" slogan.
These are the real threats to the free world.
Forget wide-open borders and the daily influx of totally undocumented
populations into our countries, don't bother focusing on the
small rag tag groups of known violent radicals, we need to put
all our efforts into routing out high school children and old
men with political T-shirts, those who wear pictures of guns,
and guys sporting transformers merchandise.
