The current image on Metal Detector Checkpoint is very dark and kinda fuzzy, and if you're not familiar with Mr. T, then it's relying on the caption to get the trope across. As suggestions, I was thinking: Panels 3 and 4, panel 3, Wolverine greeting the TSA, and first panel.

Thoughts?

I like 1.4's first panel, it's a shame the one from The Matrix blends into the background.

I'd say 1.1 and 1.4 (panel 1) are the best of those. 1.2 doesn't have the Artifical Limb stand out all that much due to the coloring, while 1.3 looks less like "metal detector shenigans" than "clawed psycho is about to kill". I'm hesitant on 1.4 because the words might be hard to make out at wiki size, certainly more than 1.1.

Mr.T looks like he's just walking through a door.

1.4.1 for size. EDIT needs a border though.

I like 1.4 best. The first two are alright, and I'm not a fan of 1.3.

1.4 works better than I thought it would. Fix the borders and it's a [tup] for me.

Putting a really thin black border around 1.4 will work fine for me.

^^ I probably like that better as it's the clearest suggestion so far.

What kind of meme is that supposed to be?

^ Not memetic per se, but it's one of these images floating around social networks (that's where I picked it up). We don't feature many of them on here, so I presume they are frowned upon.

That's not copyrighted in any way, is it?

It's a Flickr image that is licensed as CC-BY-SA 2.0. OK unless putting it on our page means we are relicensing it.

[up] I'm not familiar with that aspect of copyright stuff...it should be fine, especially if we can find the artist to credit like we do with stuff on Deviant Art.

12 looks good to me, so long as we can find the source to fulfil the attribution requirement.
