TSA is at it again

[MrsMo]

This time, in their never ceasing vigilance against terrorism, the TSA detained a teen because of a design on her purse. The purse has a camouflaged background with a small raised design of a gun on the flap. That's it... they pulled her aside, made her miss her flight, threatened her with "actions" if she didn't check the purse or leave it behind. Because of a design!

I know I feel warm fuzzies towards the TSA for keeping me so safe. Or perhaps I just feel extra warm because my blood pressure is sky rocketing over their insanity.

Here's a link to the story (with a picture of the young lady and her purse):http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow/florida-teen-detained-tsa-design-her-purse-221835034.html;_ylt=Aq4zmCvaBCUzr.4alUm4vCas0NUE;_ ylu=X3oDMTNqazVicW9iBGNjb2RlA2N0LmMEcGtnA2M5ZTFmNT dlLTkzOTUtMzdjMC1iOWFhLWIxZmU1YTU2MjJiNQRwb3MDNARz ZWMDbW9zdF9wb3B1bGFyBHZlcgNhNWQ1OTNmMC0xZDM3LTExZT EtOGY4Ni00OTc3YjIwOGIzZGI-;_ylg=X3oDMTI1cjk4NXJqBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRw c3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdANob21lBHB0A3NlY3Rpb25zBHRlc3QDY2 9udHJvbF9wcm9tbw--;_ylv=3

You call that a small raised design? I call that an in your face takes up a good one third of the area gun design!
Either way, it's hardly a threat to passenger safety, an affront to good taste and design perhaps, but not safety.

I was thinking small in relation to the size of the real weapon it represents, not the size of the purse.
