A woman trying to board a flight was stopped when security found bullet-lined platform shoes with revolvers for heels.
The incident happened at Baltimore-Washington International Airport on Monday, when an unidentified passenger was stopped by the TSA for having the shoes and a bracelet lined with bullets, Time reports.
“Shoes and bracelets that are less than ideal to wear or bring to a @TSA checkpoint. These delayed a traveler at BWI,” the agency’s spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein posted on Twitter Monday.
The platform shoes were in the traveler’s carry-on bag.
Instead of abandoning her flight, the woman abandoned the shoe and bracelet.
Farbstein reminded travelers, “Realistic replica firearms and ammunition are not permitted past TSA checkpoints.”
In 2015, the TSA found an average of seven firearms a day at airport checkpoints.
