Thank you! If only you could actually do that! I used to fly without all of that pseudo security and I've lived to a ripe old age. Now you flinching young ones are afraid to fly with cardboard cutouts of guns!
The TSA should be capable of spotting stuff like that and then discriminating between something dangerous and something benign. But, no, they have to make everyone's life miserable just because they aren't savvy enough to tell the difference between a real threat and someone's demo units! It is reasonable and proper to assume that the TSA is also not capable of discriminating between something inert and an actual threat. I'm sure danger can be made to fit in a very inconspicuous package that doesn't match any of the the "monkey training". So, you have traded your Liberty for a FALSE sense of security ... AND you are damn proud of that.
I'm unimpressed by the current crop of Americans. They aren't worth the blood of our soldiers. They die for the Constitution; and, you willingly surrender it to PRETENSE of security.
Did she tell them this ahead of time? Has she done this before?
Those things I don't know.
But I do know if she just all of a sudden showed up with this in her luggage, she is an fool.
