This about happened to me in 1980... comming back to Yurop (Had Visited my Dad in Louisville, KY).
I was denied boarding the plane till I gave them my "Gun", which was made of Yellow plastic and was about 2 innches long... (a keyholder!)

Those who read this with a shifty mind... forget it

Was the GI Joe profiled because he looked arabic? At least it wasnt some elementary school administrator this time.

This is the sorta thing that happens when you can't trust people to use common sense. On the other hand, better to err on the side of safety.

GI Joe has an M60 now? Damn.. I remember that it was cool when he finally got an M-16.

Remember, "When you outlaw GI Joes, only outlaws will have GI Joes."
