BWI Passenger Held Up by Gun-Shaped Shoes

A woman toting accessories that looked like weapons was stopped at BWI Thurgood Marshall International Airport over the weekend.

The passenger had been going through security when agents noticed the woman’s gun-shaped shoe, according to Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein.

“Friendly reminder from TSA: Realistic replica firearms and ammunition are not permitted past TSA checkpoints,” Farbstein said in a statement Monday.

The traveler had the ammunition-like bracelets and gun-shaped shoes in one of her carry-on bags, according to TIME magazine, which reported she was informed she could put them in her checked luggage but opted instead to get rid of them altogether so she could make her Saturday flight.
