National Review ^ | February 12, 2014 | Andrew Johnson

Another gun-wielding toy has had its weapon seized by airport security. After a cowboy sock monkey Rooster Monkburn had his tiny harmless weapon seized last year, a Woody doll underwent similar probe at London’s Heathrow Airport.

Healthrow traveler John Hazen posted a picture of his son’s figurine to the social-media website Reddit on Tuesday showing a security official removing the doll’s gun. “At Heathrow, security just confiscated his ‘weapon,’ keep the world safe boys,”​ Hazen wrote on the site. The doll does not usually come armed with gun — it was an accessory the family added.

Well, this was in London...

Our TSA is a bit more credible and only shakes down nuns and screaming 5 year old girls.

Mind-boggling stupidity! The nut cases are in charge.

I was at the Oakland airport and got yelled at VERY loudly by a TSA thug because I want to grab my bracelet from the conveyer belt before it got stolen. It was SO STUPID!

My family and I are flying on Friday. I'm trying to convince the wife to wear a Muslim head scarf so she can skip both the nude-photo machine and the thorough pat-down - as allowed by TSA special policy for Muslims.

Six months ago, I saw TSA let a Muslim woman skip both. She only had to stroll through a metal detector. Then a Muslim female TSA agent gently touched her head and lightly brushed her shoulders. Nothing esle. This special TSA Muslims-only "pat down" lasted maybe two seconds, tops.

"Beyond infinity? You been there?"

He's referring to the length of his last blog of lists.

“To infinity and beyond” is a line from the movie “Toy Story.”

It’s not the non-functioning miniature replica of a gun. It’s the idea of a gun that they are outlawing.

Guns bad.

I saw the movie, but the line didn’t stick in my memory. So many lines end up that way.
