R.I.P. Scout26
I like revolvers, actually. What a stupid country we've allowed ourselves to become - frightened of toys.
Is this the TSA goon, or the sock puppet? They're kinda similar in intelligence and functionality.
That's an insult to the sock-puppet community
Word. Also, it's not a puppet. It's a monkey. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sock_monkey
May, who owns a small business selling sock monkey dolls, said the agent went through the bag of sewing supplies and took issue with Monkburn’s 2-inch toy pistol.“She said ‘this is a gun,’” May recalled. “I said no, it’s not a gun, it’s a prop for my monkey.”“She said, ‘If I held it up to your neck, you wouldn’t know if it was real or not,’ and I said ‘really?’” May told King 5 News.The TSA agent confiscated the toy gun and returned the bag.The TSA issued a statement on Monday about the incident, saying “under longstanding aircraft security policy, and out of an abundance of caution, realistic replicas of firearms are prohibited in carry-on bags."

The Mrs. and I are in the preliminary stage of planning a trip that will require flying.I'm not looking forward to TSA screening. My preference would be to drive but getting to the BVI would be problematic.
You could plan to go somewhere else - somewhere that you can drive to.
