Safety over sexy: Airport stops woman with gun-shaped heels
Naples News ^ | 3/1/2016

That's what a woman found out at the Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Officials say she was stopped Sunday at a security checkpoint with a pair of gun-shaped stiletto heels.

TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein says the stilettos had heels in the shape of handguns and faux bullets around the sole. They were in the woman's carry-on luggage, along with bracelets lined in faux bullets.

The agency prohibits passengers from carrying "replica guns or ammunition" through airport security checkpoints.

Are you really as stupid as the woman who put that in her carryon instead of checked baggage?

Those are really ugly, even though the thought is provoking.

Heck, when I was in high school I got called out by the teacher for chewing gum. I hate gum. I was not chewing but she made me change my seat anyway. Sometimes teachers are just plain wrong.

A pair of shoes?

REALLY?

Do you have any conception at all, whatsoever, of how weapons look and operate and the fundamental physical processes underlying their operation? I can’t believe anyone with an IQ higher than room temperature would think those shoes were a threat.

I agree they are ugly, but they are obviously non-threatening. The appropriate TSA response would have been, “Gentleman, on the main stage, put your hands together for TAWNY...”

Just a test. Notice no names or description of the woman.

Sometimes the obvious is just that........sheesh!

"The woman tried to check the items, but ended up leaving them with the TSA in order to catch her flight."

Not everyone wants to pay $25 so the airline can lose their checked bag

How the heck does RuPaul Rubio keep getting away with flying around with his dangerous-weapon-looking high-heeled fruity-booties, without being harassed by the TSA?
