That's a fully functional (and certainly lethal) gun, only slightly larger than the prop in question.
I'm about as anti-TSA a person as you'll find. I think the entire organization is broken beyond repair should be dismantled. I'm paranoid enough that my reason for always opting out of mm-wave scanners is that I think the government could be building a highly accurate database of people's bodies.
Even with my tinfoil-clad credentials... I think this was a pretty reasonable decision on the part of the TSA employee.
- delinka 13y agoYou linked to a gun with a one-and-an-eight-inch barrel and claim that the whole gun is barely larger than the two-inch gun that was confiscated. Your link shoots a .22 calibre bullet. What's the monkey gun gonna shoot?
- JshWright 13y agoThe barrel length includes the majority of the revolver drum. The overall length of the weapon is a little over three inches. It's certainly in the same ballpark, size-wise, as the prop in the article. Which, in my opinion, makes the TSA employee's actions reasonable. Trust me... I think the TSA regulations are an absolute mess, and the vast majority are completely worthless. "You can't bring carry things that look an awful lot like guns onto planes" seems pretty reasonable to me though... If it's really that critical that you bring your sock puppet prop with you, stick it in your checked bag...
- DanBC 13y agoMy search history is now full of things like "tiny guns" "short guns" "small guns" "easy to conceal small guns" "mini weapons" etc. I shouldn't care, but I am gently worried about it. 'They' win, I guess.
