Seeing a cute handbag while walking down the street is like a seeing a puppy, you gotta have it. What happens when you decide to go on a plane ride and that cute clutch of yours has a gun embroidered on it, not a real gun, an outline of a gun. Well, the TSA will ask you to not bring it on board the flight even though it is not a real or replicated gun. Recently a teenage girl from Virginia was asked to either check her bag or give it up to the TSA agents. She was outraged and believe me, I would be too. The scanners at the airport had mistaken it as a real gun, so precautions were made, but then they saw that it was just a purse and yet they still made her give up her bag. It was just a purse, it couldn't shoot bullets or kill someone, it was an embroidered clutch.
The government, especially the TSA, have taken security measures to the extreme and writer, Patrick Smith has taken the sarcastic approach to explaining this unfortunate situation. I enjoyed reading this article because of Smith's sarcastic approach to writing this article. He made fun of TSA calling them, "Department of You Can’t Make This Up" and calling the situation worthy of the, " Hall of Shame ". This situation was ridiculous and should not happen again in the future.

are you kidding me? I really doubt that this gun embroidered design i going to be able to shoot bullets and kill plane passengers. Please recognize that, you silly security people.
