Can't spell racist without TSA!

Please read something more than the short MSN blurb. The TSA performed a secondary inspection and found the guy was clear to fly. It was Delta and the Transit police that pushed the issue after he had passed through the TSA security screenings.

Woot, can you please link to Arijit's blog about it rather than MSN's ridiculous 'article' about it? Please? I'll buy one of the shirts if you do. (Okay, I'm buying one anyway, but still.)

who doesn't like a little bit of free national advertising!?

Edit: I agree with meandsecoya, I read the MSN article and you should link elsewhere.

I didn't see anywhere that the TSA detained him. I find the linking to that MSN story disrespectful. It's a rude and inaccurate story... I disagree with your wholly legal and constitutionally protected actions, thus I question your intelligence... great article...

I suppose in this era of "news" being about opinion and not reporting facts, that you could assess something being more interesting than another, but the MSN link is both factually inaccurate and derogatory. I think, if you're going to assert your (Woot!'s) involvement as the shirt marketer, you should stick to linking an actual report of the incident or the original blog post.

I've been following his blog very carefully and have made several comments myself.

In for two, I think my friend in the USMC would love to wear this.
Or, I would love to see him wear it, lol.

Definitely in for one for my uncle who works both for Flight Safety and as a mechanic for Cotinental. He will probably press his luck and wear it at work sometime!

Bought a couple when it was first released... Buying the bag this time. Thanks for bringing it back, Woot!

My roommate works at an international airport and needs a new lunch bag. SCORE!

I much perfer "I find it hard to discuss the TSA without invoking Goodwinn's Law"

My husband said he would wear it everywhere if it wasn't in red. He's a little boring and only wears beige & green.

HITLER did it.

As a European I cannot change US politics by voting, but I will wear this shirt whenever I fly to the US from now on.

While the story of the guy being stopped at his plane for wearing this shirt is upsetting, what's more upsetting is that this isn't even a very good shirt.

Is there some sort of inside joke I am missing?

A context-aware Brave New World reference...bravo, bravo. ;)

BOOM, purchased!


Yea, I said boom.

I am not sure I would wear this to an airport. One TSA does not have a sense of humor, but does not impede the first admendment. However, flying is a privelge that the airline/pilot is more than willing to take away.

Awesome shirt.

Awesome shirt.

I got TSA agents to crack a smile once. But it was super early in the morning and I was pretty much the only one going through security at the time.

I would be too chicken to wear this shirt at the airport.

Luckily, my job doesn't require air travel, so you won't find me anywhere near an airport. Cheers to woot for poking fun at the mooks in the blue glove brigade, though.

This was the first Woot shirt I ordered- one of the very early ones if I remember right- but it got lost in the mail, or the mailroom, or something, and I never received it. By the time I got around to asking Woot what had happened, the shirts were gone, so they had to give me a refund instead. (this was before they had the reckoning, possibly before you could order the next day. I forget.)

I'm totally stoked that I now have a second chance to own this awesome shirt.

As a Buffalo native, I can tell you that the NFTA are the worst of upstate/rust belt government agencies. And they they have their tentacles in in everything that should be helping Buffalo, such as the the water front and harbor, mass transit, and even parks. They make the TSA look brillant

Are part of the proceeds going to his cause as well? Or to the charities he supports?

University of Arizona Cancer Center’s Patient Assistance Fund
The Wellness Community
Arizona, and the Colon Cancer Alliance

(eyes woot) While it is very cool that the artist is donating his commission, does woot intend to kick in a little too?

dammit i missed it :-( can it be made available again? or maybe it's "accessible" elsewhere on a more permanent basis?

my husband and i both bought one for each other. personally, i couldnt care about anyone else, but we both liked the shirt....
