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 :D

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.
