Where was SWAT? She needed to be tased for this and then beaten to pulp, subject to a strip search, and indefinite incarceration.

Around 91 was flying with my kid from LA and the morons in security (not TSA at the time) made us trash his souvenir from Disneyland one of those “Pirate” pistols that has an orange cap on the end. Like I was going to hijack the plane with flintlock pistol.....

Apparently working for the TSA means checking your brain at the door.

can't wait til Michael Berry comes on the radio today. He had “LT” Dan from the TSA call in last week explaining how TSA agents were keeping us all from being killed and what heroes TSA agents are when they find a bomb and everyone else is running out of the building they are running in. Guy was Paul Blart with a real big ego problem. Michael had a field day with him. Oh yeah, this is going to be good.

Sure, it was not a functional weapon, but she looks smart - kinda like MacGyver. And he could turn it into a functional device to take over the plane and force the stewards to act straight, or at least less queer, and the stewardess to give out more drinks and peanuts like in the old days. She looks like the type who could take over the cockpit with just a sheet of paper, (don't laugh we all know how painful a paper-cut can be.) Just the image of a gun is enough to make some liberal wet themselves, and who knows if this girl was really a girl and not a terrorist covered in an elaborate full body suit and the gun on her purse a part for a more nefarious device to trigger an EMP pulse high in the atmosphere so that kids could no longer get their iTunes and disable the IRS datat center - the key to the device being cleverly camouflaged as a gun to throw off federal agents, who would of course ignore the purse because it is not a "real" gun. . I bet you didn't think about that did you!
Or it could be that the TSA is dumb as rocks, (no offense to rocks intended).

The Stasi jackboots made my sister toss a snow globe she had just bought at the airport gift store. Now, apparently, from photos I saw, they have new signs specifically saying no snow globes.

In the thumbnail, it reminded me of those .22 cal belt buckles, which don't really look real to me either.

From the picture, it looks like it could be one of those .22 belt buckle pistols.

They aren’t interested in you sex life and don’t have time and staff to listen.
They have a real job in assessing real threats.

The point was not that it looked like a gun, IMHO. It was because someone that uses a gun design on a purse is probably conservative, more likely to be someone who values their freedoms, and so they were harassed for their political beliefs. No one in their right mind would think this is dangerous, so it leaves the whole situation open to discovering the ulterior motives of the TSA personnel.
If she had an Obama sticker on, she would not even have been searched.

ALWAYS treat a purse like its loaded!
Exactly!! My wife's purse is definitely dangerous. It doesn't need a tacky pistol outline on the outside, because it's loaded with credit cards on the inside.

A real story —
I attended the IDPA Nationals in Lake Cormorant MS. After the awards on Sunday the mad dash for the Memphis Airport was on.
Among a group of twenty or so participants at least 5 of them had award plaques they carried with them on their carry ons.
On each of the plaques was a small (1.5”) silhouette of a handgun.
I sh*t you not - TSA began to peel off the backing on the plaques and stood around for twenty minutes deciding if these dangerous objects would be permitted on a plane. Finally someone in authority came by and gave the OK. By then a sizable crowd of us had gathered and watched in total disbelief.
This was one of the more stupefying acts of official government ineptness and feckless blunder to which I have ever been a witness.
At least for the most part these windup imbeciles remain enclosed in airports. That way we can avoid them.
