I went through the TSA 'training.' Let me put it this way, if I can pass it a few months after having a bullet in my head and watching walls bleed and talking to voices that aren't there, anyone can pass it.

LSD experiments?? I thought they quit doing those?

Um, no. Combat wounded, TBI.

TSA=Thousands Standing Around.

That's obviously giving him too much credit. He's not standing.

Buzz Lightyear guns are apparently too realistic:

This is one Disney World trip that didn't end magically.

That's because 5-year-old Levi Zilka's Buzz Lightyear toy, purchased during his first visit to the theme park, was confiscated by TSA agents at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport because they thought it looked like a gun, his father told WWMT-TV.

"We understand that things are scary out there right now but taking a toy from a five-year-old doesn't enhance national security," David Zilka told the station. "It was all I could do not to break down with him in that moment."

The Pennsylvania father said he was told by the TSA that "realistic replicas of firearms" are allowed on planes if placed in checked baggage, but the family had only brought carry-on bags for the trip.

It was at that point, the family said, that TSA agents confiscated the toy and threw it in the trash.

"Once he realized what was happening, that they weren't giving his toy back, he immediately starts bawling, just tears streaming down his face, crying," Zilka said of his son's reaction.

The TSA is evaluating the incident, WWMT-TV reported.

Um.. How is that toy realistic looking, in any way. Jesus fucking christ.

It's got...uh...a barrel shroud, and pistol grip...and adjustable stock.





Probably, in truth, the TSA agent forgot his own kid's birthday and needed a quick gift.

Looks like any other AR-47 to me!
