Wait a Minute, Woody!

TSA agents have the authority to seize anything that can endanger passenger security in various locations. So, it came as a surprise to us when Woody was frisked at the airport and his toy pistol was taken away. What possible harm could a toy so small possibly do? In any case, it’s just a lifeless piece of equipment.

Notably, the TSA website reaffirms that toys that are exact copies of weapons and explosives are forbidden. Whether they are kept in carry-on or checked luggage, water guns must be empty before being transported aboard the plane. This is tight security and safety at its best!
