So have you heard the one about the WMD T-shirt? Since when does freedom of expression on a T, with nothing obscene on it, btw, become grounds to remove a person from a government building? (pinkUKNews):

    An woman in California was threatened with arrest and forced to leave a government building because a security guard took offence to her T-shirt.

    Lapriss Gilbert, 31, wore a lesbian.com shirt when she went to collect a Social Security card for her son. The guard, who works for Paragon Security, challenged her and forced her to leave the building.
