He then shared the image on Reddit, with the caption, 'security just confiscated his 'weapon,' keep the world safe boys..." According to the pictures shown, Woody had made a previous visit to Chicago armed with his tiny wooden pistol that had no moving parts. Does this mean that security at Heathrow is superior to that in Chicago?Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #7 February 13, 2014 How is this any different from security confiscating tie-tacks shaped like guns here in the US? You know, the little pins about 3/4 inch, often pewter, cast into the image of a variety of different guns. Like THESE I think they stopped, but they did it for a while after the September 2001 attacks."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

That sounds like a challenge, sir. I'm betting the US or Oz can up their game shortly. ...

And yet, LGA TSA continue to let women dressed in burkas walk through with no checks.The jihadists know the burka charade will be over after the first bang. They are just waiting for technology to catch up for the best bang for the buck. An added bonus for jihadist candidates is a large vagina and a student visa for the States.Do your part for global warming: ban beans and hold all popcorn farts.

davjohns 1 #16 February 14, 2014 Government wisdom in action. So, we ask the same government to define marriage, when life begins, how to raise children... I continue to maintain that government is the least efficient means of doing anything. It must, therefore, be restricted to only those things that cannot be done at a level closer to the individual.I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
