Related: About this forumWoman Wearing High Heels Shaped Like Guns Attempts To Board Flight At LaGuardia
Can you spot why these heels wont fly?
The high heels appear to not be shoes at all but, rather, poorly disguised guns. Which, of course, do not belong on a plane.
But these heels arent harmful, except maybe to the feet of the person wearing them. Theyre actually what the TSA calls replica guns. But replica guns arent allowed on planes either. So they were confiscated.
A photo of the heels was tweeted by a Transportation Security Administration public affairs representative with the caption, Also, what not to wear through a #LGA checkpoint.
LGA is the airport code for New York Citys LaGuardia Airport. Its not clear where the owner of the heels was going. Because the shoes were replica guns and voluntarily surrendered, a spokesperson for the TSA said, no arrest was made and no report taken.
