Without a closer inspection, I'd say it's perfectly plausible that the gun pictured in the article would be capable of discharging a projectile. Perhaps it's quite obvious when you look at it up close from several angles, but that was the TSA employee's point... it if was being used to threaten someone, they wouldn't necessarily be able to take the time to examine it... As an example, here's a gun that's very similar in size to the prop, that is quite capable of killing you (and four of your friends): http://www.impactguns.com/data/default/images/catalog/535/naa_NAA-22MSC_b.jpg http://www.impactguns.com/data/default/images/catalog/535/na...

Note that the gun you linked is 4-5 inches in total length. It's still quite small, but not similar enough in my opinion to a 2-inch prop gun. EDIT: The gun is 3 5/8" in length. At any rate, my problem is not the TSA agent's actions anyway, but her justification. If she had just shrugged and said "I know it's stupid but I have to confiscate this", then we wouldn't be talking about her. Instead, she heaped more coals on the already absurd security panic fire by suggesting that someone could be menacing with a 2-inch gun. This is the kind of crap that spawns memes.
