It took them long enough to figure out that an embossed image of a gun on the side of a purse isn't a real gun to make her miss her flight. I wouldn't be surprised to learn the FBI's 10 most wanted got on a plane while they were cavity searching someone they caught carrying a copy of the Constitution.
FIREARM, FACSIMILE OF
“Facsimile of a firearm” means (A) any nonfunctional imitation of an original firearm which was manufactured, designed and produced since 1898, or (B) any nonfunctional representation of a firearm other than an imitation of an original firearm, provided such representation could reasonably be perceived to be a real firearm. Such term does not include any look-a-like, nonfiring, collector replica of an antique firearm developed prior to 1898, or traditional BB or pellet-firing air gun that expels a metallic or paint-contained projectile through the force of air pressure.
