Fuckin' idiots.
"oooh nooo, a nail clipper" [wets pants]
Here's one for ya:
I was listening to Dick Marcinko's radio show. He was in an airport, (Dulles I think) and he had one of his "Rogue Warrior Action Figures" in his carry-on. It was in the box, sealed up. The TOY was a carrying a MP-5 (you know, about 1/32 scale, made of plastic).
The IDIOT security people wouldn't let him on the plane with it! He finally got a supervisor and Demo Dick tried to talk common sense into her (something like, [b]I'M[/b] the dangerous weapon here, NOT the little piece of plastic the doll is carrying).
The supervisor eventually came to the conclusion that the toy MP-5 was a "gun replica" and as such is prohibited.
They actually made one of the country's foremost experts on counterterrorism, and undenied patriot(and they DID know who he was), throw away a 2" plastic submachine gun!
I say again, fucking idiots, over.
