In Canada: Torontonian Tries to Board Plane at Kelowna Airport while Toting a Gun.
On Monday, Marnina Norys, a Toronto resident and PhD student studying Social Political Thought, was put through the bureaucratic and culture-of-fear rigmarole while trying to board a place in Kelowna - all because she wore a necklace with a pendant in the shape of a gun (the classic Colt45, and the actual pendant depicted in the above photo).
Hijacking a plane using a tattoo of a gun or the latest issue of Guns & Ammo magazine are just as likely scenarios.
First she was told by an agent at security that she couldn't wear it, and that the "replica" would have to go in her carry-on bag. But a second agent who was tasked with searching her carry-on bag found the gun pendant and told her that although harmless (and against all common sense) her gun would have to go in her checked baggage.
Racing back to the check-in desk, concerned that she was going to miss her flight, Norys ended up just checking her whole carry-on bag (since her checked luggage was already long gone.)
There are peeps somewhere, making very stupid rules. And these complete morons -- peeps with absolutely zero sense -- could not get dumber if they lost both their brain cells -- THESE are the people in charge of making sure terrorists don't board airplanes.

Seriously -- could anyone with an IQ over 25 be fooled into thinking this was a real gun? In my opinion, these "rule makers" should be summarily fired and then everyone should laugh at them while they walk to their cars. But don't worry, they won't be fired, nor will anything at all happen to them. Why not? Because nobody, no matter how high up in government, is afraid of being fired anymore -- you know -- since peeps keep voting libs into office.
