A woman flying out of Baltimore was stopped by airport security after they discovered a pair of gun-shaped stilettos in her carry-on bag.
The femme fatale was trying to go through a checkpoint at Baltimore-Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport on Saturday when she was approached by the Transportation Security Administration agents who found the shoes, along with two bracelets lined with realistic-looking faux bullets.
“Shoes and bracelets that are less than ideal to wear or bring to a @TSA checkpoint. These delayed a traveler at BWI,” tweeted TSA spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein.
She later told the Baltimore Sun that the woman was ordered to put the items in her checked luggage, but refused and chose to leave them with the TSA because she was running late for her flight.
The stilettos that the unidentified traveler had in her possession — Bondgirl-701-3 Gun Heel Platform Sandals — are made by exotic footwear manufacturer Pleaser USA and are said to be one of their most popular items.
They look authentic, but the 7.5 inch gun-barrel heels are plastic, and finished with a chrome coating in order to make them look more realistic, according to Pleaser USA spokeswoman Elody Romero.
In her nine years at the company, she said she had never heard of an incident where the heels were confiscated by airport security.
“She brought them in her carry-on luggage? That probably wasn’t the smartest decision,” Romero told the Baltimore Sun.
