Security takes Woody's toy gun

Dont mess around with airport security when it comes to guns, even if its a tiny toy gun.

Security staff at Heathrow airport confiscated a miniature six-shooter from a Woody doll from Toy Story fame because they thought it was a terrorist risk.

The dolls owner John Hazen snapped a picture of Woody's pat down as it was happening.

The guy said 'we have a serious problem with your bag. Theres a metal shape object in your bag that looks like a gun,' Hazen told FoxNews.com.

He said that the security agent was very cordial and even checked with his superiors to see if they had to confiscate the gun. They ultimately did, but left Woody to be on his way.

Hazen said he posted the image on Reddit, with the caption, "security just confiscated his 'weapon, keep the world safe boys..., and then got on the plane.

A few hours when he landed in California, he was met with a flurry of comments on his post, with many criticizing security staff for being overzealous --or mocking the situation.

"I'm just imagining what it would be like if he tried to hijack an airplane with that small gun. People squinting looking at his hand," a user named Groonz wrote.

A user named duseinsha wrote, "Pathetic. What happened to common sense?"
