NEW YORK, - The Transportation Security Administration said a pair of shoes seized at a New York airport had fake guns for heels.

The TSA posted a photo on its Twitter account of a pair of high-heeled shoes with fake revolvers as the heels, ABC News reported Monday.

The TSA said the heels were seized from a woman traveling at New York's LaGuardia Airport.

"Also, what not to wear through a #LGA checkpoint," the tweet read.

The agency said the shoes were banned for being replica guns. They were voluntarily surrendered by the traveler, who was not arrested or fined.

TSA = Totally Stupid A$$holes................

I wish I'd said that! Absolutely correct description.

And, some people wonder why so many of us hate the TSA. Go figure.

The founding fathers would have grabbed their muskets and revolted a long time before this!

Anyone who wears that through an airport checkpoint deserves whatever happens to them

Those heels don’t “come off,” they “go off.”

“Those shoes will end up at some TSA social event, worn by a TSA agent .”

Male or female agent? (Sorry, had to ask.)

I like these! I could wear them to work then, if there's a threat I could do more than cower under a table!

Yep, I'm liking this idea more and more...

Incidently , the TSA guys look kinda 'Fluffey',
and the TSA women look kinda like they shave every other day !

LOVE the Hillary quote.

I actually met a nice TSA guy at the Wilmington NC airport. I think he may have been the TSA’s whole presence there — the port was that small.

Oh You must mean the “Wilmington Inter-Galactic Space Port and Aerodrome “ !
Today ,if politics are accurate .. , you have to look “forward “
...and TSA will still be there !
