This itty bitty plastic rifle was recently declared a “firearm” by airport security officials at Gatwick Airport. Which I guess makes the toy soldier it had been attached to an enemy combatant?
Cripes!

sorry for going off at you, was just a bit frustrated at the whole thing.
I think its time to TREAT THEM, to the world of ULTRA SECURITY…
Raid there home, tear everything apart, and say OOPS! wrong house.
Full body inspections at the STORE/MALL..
SEARCH their homes with the TSA guide lines..
ANYONE got remote cameras…we install them, and if they EVER touch a kid, we arrest them put them in jail and FORGET THE KIDS.
Sure. All funny until a pilot’s eye gets poked out.
So, I guess next, I would have my Guns and Ammo Magazine confiscated because I would be carrying firearms of all types on my person.
The only paper I ever bring/brought to an airport, a train station* (or a Bus Terminus if I ever travel that way again,) is my travel documents.
I’d never take a copy of Guns & Ammo. (Specially not on an iPad.)
There is no way I’m ever taking anything but an old iPod through security.
The TSA is composed of cowardly low-lifes (ones who have never been caught because they don’t have the guts;) the stuff they scrape off of your metaphorical shoe and toss into the trash can.
When I travel I look like I’m an indigent; shabby, ill fitting clothes chosen to not color coordinate.
Nobody ever bother’s me.
If you look like a waste of space and time, its only marginally slightly less effective a repellent that looking insane. (I’m a old, log-haired hippy-freak so I can do “bed head real good.[My cane is a really banged up red piece of wood and red is a color of warning in nature.])
*) I see this coming already. Its only a matter of time until the TSA chokes those off too. I’m not kidding, buy stock in outfits selling telepresence rigs.
#25: You’re just not interested in pushing back, are you?
get COMFORTABLE..
You dont need a tie and suit to fly and SIT for 2-6 hours..
And I would think they would HATE FLEECE WEAR and BACKPACKS.
I learned while being on the STREETS..
going to the theater, and looking GRUDGED, was the BEST privacy and leg room, I EVER WANTED.
At last. Insanity for everyone. The terrorists win.
