I would've been screwed as a kid since i took my 12" GI Joe's with me along with their entire arsenal whenever i went on vacation, that and my Micro Machines.
I know how they feel. I actually had my Glock keychain confiscated at San Francisco Airport because the TSA foolio said it was a dangerous weapon. I bit my lip because I didnt want trouble otherwise I could have made some comments to him. What a dumb a$$!
