Personally, I’m suprised the seven year old wasn’t charged under some “zero tolerance” statute…
2″ GI Joe rifle confiscated at LAX. The British tabloid The Sun reports that security guards at LAX confiscated a two-inch plastic GI Joe rifle from a seven-year-old’s toy action figure. I feel safer.
Security chiefs at Los Angeles airport said: ãWe have instructions to confiscate anything that looks like a weapon or a replica.
ãIf GI Joe was carrying a replica then it had to be taken from him.ä
