So found one traveler departing London.

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?

So goes state-controlled airport security. Now the US airport security is controlled by - guess who? - a government agency. Feel better?

At least he wasn’t wearing a scary necklace.
