Here's a gun-related post for a change.
Ms. Vinnicombe, 34, was told the toy was technically a 'weapon' and would have to be registered at the firearms desk.
And what IS this scary "toy" gun? A pellet gun? An airsoft gun? A replica look-alike gun?
A girl of six triggered a security scare at an airport – with a pink Bugs Bunny water pistol rammed full of sweets.
A candy-filled, bright pink, Bugs Bunny water pistol. I can certainly see why the authorities were alarmed. It's a slippery slope from pink candy toy pistols to armed hijackers. Lord knows she fit the profile for terrorists.
A Cape Town airport spokeswoman insisted: 'It's better to be safe than sorry.'
Amen, Miss Airport Safety Lady. We can all sleep better tonight knowing that 6-year-old terrorists can't put one over on airport security.
