Airport guards have stopped a woman boarding a plane for wearing a Bunco T-shirt showing cartoon dice.
Midlo Midlothian, 39 was told she had to change her T-shirt if she wanted to catch his flight from Richmond's airport.
"Mr Midlo set off the alarms and was searched. But then the guy told me to stop and said 'you cannot get on the plane because there are bunco dice on your T-shirt'" he said.
Midlo Midlothian, from Midlothian VA, was then threatened with arrest after she asked to see the security chief.
She said: "It's just Bunco dice. What was I going to do, use the shirt to pretend I was going to throw the dice at the pilots, and I am a well respected member of DU.
"I was flabbergasted. I thought the supervisor would come over and see sense, but he didn't. After I changed he said if I changed back I would be arrested."
