He snapped a photo of the TSA officials ogling his $1,200 shoes and tweeted: "why did airport security TSA try and jAck my 'louboutin$' these are weApon$! wtf? killA $wAg!"

1. Goofy ass lookin' shoes.

That's all I got.

2. $1,200 for that crap?

I'm in the wrong line of work.

[Ilsa]

3. I don't put it past TSA agents to steal out of the "trash" can. nt

[shanti]

5. i've wondered about that stuff

that goes "into the trash", and is perfectly fine....

[Merlot]

14. The gov't sells it at swap meets

That's what they did with all the sharp objects (pocket knives, clippers, etc) they confiscated back in the early post 911 days.

Not sure if they are still selling it.

15. The Seattle Times reported over a year ago

that TSA agents at Sea-Tac were helping themselves to the booty in the confiscation bin.

Don't kid yourself. Those Louboutins would bring quite a profit on eBay, if the TSA person in question wasn't interested themselves.

4. "Christian Louboutins" are garbage as is all the garbage

that comes from the Haute Coture world.

6. I think a better headline is "TSA workers stifle laughter at complete tool

with horrible taste in shoes."

(I'd also like to propose that people who write tweets like that should be fed to hyenas...)

7. I wouldn't want to get hit in the face with those.

Or wear them, for that matter.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

8. Now those are some ugly ass shoes...

...as OJ would say

[Texasgal]

9. weather or not they are ugly is beyond the issue

Why the hell did the TSA confiscate them? They are obviously shoes!

[AsahinaKimi]

10. Those aren't shoes! They are CHAINMAIL!

"Wouldst thou proudly wear thy shoes!!"

[Gormy Cuss]

11. Oh, to be wearing those when the person in back of me is kneeing my seat cushion.....

:hide:

[eShirl]

12. give me a Bedazzler and a $15 gift certificate to Payless

[Historic NY]

13. Why pray tell would he even think of wearing them to a security checkpoint....
