"Rooster Monkburn" the cowboy sock monkey is without his pistol, thanks to a diligent TSA agent in St. Louis.
Phyllis May of Redmond, Wash. says she is “appalled and shocked and embarrassed all at the same time” about the incident that happened on Wednesday.
May has a small business selling unique sock monkey dolls. She says she and her husband were on their way from St. Louis to Sea-Tac and she had a couple of monkeys and sewing supplies with her in a carry-on bag.
“His pistol was in there,” she says of the sock monkey “Rooster Monkburn,” a take-off on John Wayne character “Rooster Cogburn” from the film “True Grit.”
May and her husband were going through the screening process when she noticed that one of her bags was missing.
“And the (TSA agent) held it up and said ‘whose is this?’” she said. “I realized oh, my God this is my bag.”
May said the TSA agent went through the bag, through the sewing supplies and found the two-inch long pistol.“She said ‘this is a gun,’” said May. “I said no, it’s not a gun it’s a prop for my monkey.”
“She said ‘If I held it up to your neck, you wouldn’t know if it was real or not,’ and I said ‘really?’” said May.
The TSA agent told May she would have to confiscate the tiny gun and was supposed to call the police. “I said well go ahead,” said May. “And I said really? You’re kidding me right, and she said no it looks like a gun.” “She took my monkey’s gun,” said May, who has retained her sense of humor.

An obviously racist sock monkey . . .
Oh the Sheriff had a fit,
Trying figure out where Megee was hit,
When he died at the age of 23.
Because he’d been shot clean through,
Bending over and tying his shoe.
LOL-LOL
Training?
I think the word you are looking for is “hanging”.
> I have a grandaughter over and she was watching Tom & Jerry which would be banned by the PC crowd today . I’d bet there were at least 20 “episodes of violence” in that 7 min cartoon. My our society has become oversensitive wienies nowadays.
There’s a Mickey Mouse cartoon where Mickey grabs a shotgun from over the fireplace mantle. Disney’s people have re-worked the cartoon in order to replace the shotgun with a broom. The editing was very good and seamless, but anyone with half a brain instantly will recognize it for what it is and what it should be.

...TSA supervisor Ima Mallcop not only defended the screener’s decision, but praised it. “Recent intel has shown that sock monkeys are frequently lonely, left by themselves for long periods of time, and resent being controlled by someone else when they are around other, in other words, perfect candidates for recruitment by Al Quaeda,” said Ms. Mallcop. “This TSO is a credit to the uniform, and will be nominated for the monthly Smurftastic award. If this sock puppet would have been allowed on board, someone could have been seriously hurt or worse.”
TSA director Papa Smurf refused to respond to reporters’ questions, but did E-mail a pre-produced pamphlet entitled “When Good Puppets Go Bad” which cites studies by the University of Gobbledygook showing that completely inert toy props, even unloaded ones, can cause grave damage. In 2007, according to the study, a Teddy Ruxpin breached the flight deck on a Boeing 737-800 bound for Miami using a fake nose-and-glasses, and ordered the pilots to fly to Oxnard, California. 152 passengers were terrorized by their surroundings until they were bused to Fresno where they immediately felt better.
“Rubber chickens, dribble glasses and whoopee cushions are all prohibited items,” explained Mallcop. “Those attempting to bring them into the sterile area will be detained for questioning. It’s for your safety. Think of the children!”
Prolly a Tea Bagger...............
I’m a retired flight attendant for a major airline. I remember when, a pilot in uniform, was going through security on his way to his flight. A female TSA agent confiscated his aviation headset. She felt the tip of the cable posed a threat. The pilot and we couldn’t believe the stupidity! Only after a supervisor was called, and he explained why it was vital he use it for flight communications, was he permitted to take his headset with him!
My Late B-I-L had a Cigar Punch made from a .44 Cartridge. He had it with him when we were flying to Vegas. It took 3 TSA Agents to make the decision that he couldn’t take it on the Plane, even when he showed them how it came apart to expose the small round Punch.
It went in the collection of dangerous items and was gone.
I think it cost him around $20 when he bought it.
Next time dress your sock monkey in a burka and he’ll go through TSA no problem.
I just remembered, when I was a kid I owned a Monkey Gun. Cool toy.
Only your TSA can have guns, and they treat them like toys as the ‘play around’ with us sheeple.
Schools expel kids for drawing a picture of a gun. TSA agents are forcing the same ideology on people. They have a common goal - criminalize the thought of a gun.
LOL.
“Mr. Rat... I have a writ here says you’re to stop eating Chen Lee’s cornmeal forthwith. Now it’s a rat writ, writ for a rat, and this is lawful service of the same...”
When my son was in the Marines, en route to deployment in Afghanistan, his unit had to board a charter through a civilian airport, with weapons and full battle gear. The TSA agent made them run their rifles through the Xray machine!
meanwhile they have muslims cleaning the planes
The worst is: We are paying these stupid people to do these stupid things.
when sock monkey guns are outlawed
only outlaw sock monkeys will have sock monkey guns.
When my mother ( age 88) would fly to St Louis to visit relatives in recent years she got the search treatment every time on departure from there.
STL must have some extra super stupid TSA drones.
