NEW YORK, July 22 (UPI) -- The Transportation Security Administration said a pair of shoes seized at a New York airport had fake guns for heels.
The TSA posted a photo on its Twitter account of a pair of high-heeled shoes with fake revolvers as the heels, ABC News reported Monday.
The TSA said the heels were seized from a woman traveling at New York's LaGuardia Airport.
"Also, what not to wear through a #LGA checkpoint," the tweet read.

Don't act to draw attention and complain when you get it.

(20,511 posts)Gun-nutter buys his wife "this REALLY COOL pair of shoes!!!"
Wife hates 'em, seein' as they are so ugly and all, but can't figure a way to tell gun-nutter hubby that she'd rather wear a pair of galoshes to the pastor's house than wear those things around the house.
So, vacation time comes and hubby wants to fly to Sanford, FL to see what all the hubbub is down there and maybe get a little target practice in, if ya' know what I mean. So the wife sees a perfect opportunity to ditch these things! "Honey, I HAVE to wear them to the airport! They're my favorite shoes!"
Bada-bing...they're gone.
Just my imagination running around.
