Safety over sexy: Airport stops woman with gun-shaped heels
LINTHICUM, Md. (AP) — At the airport, safety is more important than sexy.
That's what a woman found out at the Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. Officials say she was stopped Sunday at a security checkpoint with a pair of gun-shaped stiletto heels.
TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein says the stilettos had heels in the shape of handguns and faux bullets around the sole. They were in the woman's carry-on luggage, along with bracelets lined in faux bullets.
The agency prohibits passengers from carrying "replica guns or ammunition" through airport security checkpoints.
