TSA tells teen that her purse is a federal offense

The TSA is at it again. A teen was detained because her purse contained a design of a miniature gun on it.
Sure, the purse is fugly as hell - but that isn't a crime (yet). Did they seriously need to spend more than 10 seconds determining that it wasn't an actual threat? :

that purse was so not fetch
Here's a good way to stop idiocy: don't bring things that look like guns onto an airplane.

That is the ugliest effing purse I've ever seen

But this is just straight up Dumb.
Obviously the people on the plane just don't like Michael Bay

They thought his iPod was Soundwave, okay?
it was misidentified as megatron in the report and colbert pointed out that since megatron could turn INTO a gun the whole thing was understandable
joey slick is a convicted criminal, he shouldn't be flying anyways
Alternatively, the first fucking amendment

theater is what you get when the audience knows the performers are lying
I think he is going for freedom of expression.
Unless the right of the people to express themselves through fashion is magically covered under...
No, silly goose. There's nothing even remotely applicable to the second amendment here. It's not a fucking gun. It's nothing even remotely close to a gun. It's a goddamn purse with an image of a gun on it.
So if I have a folded up piece of paper in my pocket and there's a drawing of a gun on it, am I now carrying concealed?
like me going through the san antonio airport with shaving cream and having it confiscated coming back from vegas
man, fuck you

my penis fires projectiles at an alarming velocity
better not fly anywhere
Not at all applicable. Air travel is not a right.
Yeah the supreme court has been pretty damn liberal with its application of what is considered protected forms of expression. Fashion, art, music, porn. All protected "speech."
But people don't care because they think it's okay to restrict that freedom if it means being safer. They neglect to realize A) It's not okay to do that;
Really? Pretty sure I have the right to contract with a company to procure their services. Pretty sure that ticket is considered a contract, and pretty sure the TSA is coming in as a government agency and saying that because of how I've expressed myself, they have some ability to prevent me from using said contracted service.
EDIT: And that company you contracted is subject to federal regulations which you agreed being subject to upon procuring their services.
Oh so the contract was executed successfully, and the girl was able to keep her god-awful purse?
My bad, misread the article.
From my friend's facebook.
This sounds pretty reasonable.
Perfectly reasonable!
Detaining a minor because they're carrying something that so obviously is not a weapon, and can easily be determined not to contain a weapon, for long enough that she misses her flight, is not reasonable.
The policy is reasonable, its execution in this instance was not.
That's a restriction on free speech the government is allowed to do. i.e. you sure as hell couldn't board an aircraft wearing a shirt that said "I AM A TERRORIST"
