Security Theater
TSA confiscates a kid’s Buzz Lightyear toy because it kinda, sorta looks like a gun.

I would cry because I have to live in the world with people as stupid as these are.

At least they’re consistent:

Consistently stupid, that is.

I’d be sure to smash that toy on the ground before they confiscated it for their nephew at Christmas.

mikee, my thoughts exactly!
They weren’t confiscating a dangerous item, they were Christmas shopping.

And since the TSA requires realistic replicas of firearms to be checked, the TSA agents at the Fort Lauderdale International Airport took the toy.
It takes a special sort of crazy for someone at the TSA to think that Buzz Lightyear toy is a “realistic replica of a firearm”, since it’s nothing like any firearm, as pictured in the video there.

Bastids pulled that crap on me over my cigarette case that had a built I lighter. Damn thing had traveled all over the world with me. TSA bi**h at the Houston airport decided she needed it for her pimp, I guess. So I asked her for it back for a second, took a good grip and snapped the cover off. Thought she was going to hit me for a second…

It’s just one of those grabbers that old people use to pick up from the floor so they don’t have to bend over, but in kid colors.
