So here's the story....
My daughter went with her DECA business class from High School to visit New York City for a week. She found me a nice belt buckle that was shaped like a Glock. Bought it for $35 bucks for her pops who she knows is a gun nut. As she was going thru security at the Newark Airport they searched her backpack and seen the buckle. It was still attached to the belt and she explained that it was mearly a buckle and it was for me.
Well.......they confiscated it and told her that she couldnt have it back. Told her the reason why was cause it would scare the passengers if she pulled the belt out on the plane. My daughter told them that it was only a buckle and not a gun. So, says the security folks. So the daughter asked how to get it back and they told her no dice, they were gonna discard it and she cant have it back. Wont send it to her either.
The daughter told them it was BS and the gal there says, "Dont you know where you are and what happened on Sept 11"? Of course said the daughter, and guns had nothing to do with it and besides, its only a damn buckle.
Folks still told her she cant have it back and if she persists to argue they will call the police.
The question is, anyone got any contact numbers or address's so I can file a complaint and see if I can obtain at least the cost of the buckle back.
Truely unbelievable.
