    Dublin Airport seized a Minion ''fart gun'' from a toddler

    Dublin Airport seized a Minion ''fart gun'' from a toddler, called it a security risk


    We all might roll our eyes at airport security, but the truth is they're doing a job and trying to keep us all safe.

    Sure, it might be a pain to separate liquids into a bag and having to go through scanners and so forth, but it's all to put your mind at ease. However, Dublin Airport's security might have taken it one step too far.

    When passing through security at the airport, a Minion fart gun - seen below - was seized from a young toddler and taken away. The security officers claimed it was a 'threat' and took the toy gun away from the child.

    Daire Fitzpatrick was returning to Ireland from the UK with her son, Leo. However, when she and Leo went through security at Dublin, the security officers demanded that the boy hand over the Minion-themed fart blaster. Because, let's face it, nobody likes stinky farts on a long-haul flight.




    Paula has since demanded that Dublin Airport security return the toy to Leo as he's no doubt heartbroken without it. Dublin Airport responded to her tweet, saying that she should contact the DAA on her return and go from there.

    Look, we may dislike Minions and think they're downright annoying, but that's no reason to take away a child's toy. It may have something to do with a certain terrorising Minion, however.

    If I can't have my minion fart gun, I just don't want to live on this planet anymore.

    We've got one too but I don't wanna be trapped in a confined space with it, especially if it's in the hands of my "this never gets old" toddler.

    Why didn't they just put it in baggage. Geez. The parents had to have known how annoying it would be for other passengers if the kid had it in his hot little hands for the flight.

    I truly believe that it was this fact and not that it was potentially dangerous that motivated the confiscation. Unless "potentially dangerous" meant some fellow passenger strangling the kid to death.

    I can see the whole if it looks like a gun, it's not coming into the plane even if it's clearly a plastic fart shooter. These people don't have time to argue with everyone over if the gun looks fake enough. Just don't be a dick and try to take a gun like toy on a plane. There always has to be an asshole who thinks they should get an exemption and it's just sad that social media is giving them such a platform. Does the whole world really need to know you can't keep your kid quiet with anything else but farts? It's from Dublin to the UK, that's like an hour flight, what are we talking about? Poor woman, does she already have a gofundme or something?

    It was stuffed with gunpowder, though!

    Seriously, it was a fart gun. I can turn my belt into a lethal weapon. My keys too. Who the fuck do they think they're protecting from a fart gun? And they're so stupid at airports they'll make you take your gun belt buckle off, despite the fact that it's not a gun and doesn't shoot anything.

    The world is safe once again! Safe from the clutches of a four year old with a fart gun!!!! We can all sleep well tonight, knowing that airport security has apprehended a real criminal!!!
    Don't like what I have to say? I respect that. Go fuck yourself.

    Whoa, do you remember life when you were 5? I had a favorite stuffed dog that had a water balloon in his belly. If that toy was taken from me, I would have been devastated and had a total melt down. No fun for all parties involved.

    Hell. I still get cranky if someone tries to take my special pillow. That's why i think i'd have put up with the gun.

    This is true. I don't know why I'm making an example from when I was 5. You reeeally don't want to take my ball these days..

    Airport security & the Gardai have good reason to take a hardline on minions. Let's not forget the recent attack on innocent Irish motorists

    I just got that same fart gun for my nephew at his birthday party

    That would be seriously annoying on a plane though, but knowing my husband he would encourage the kids to bring it as a carry on and HE would be the one setting it off when people walked by.

    I think you're right .. I'm Irish and I love them as do my 43 yr old daughter and my grandsons.

    My entire desk is loaded with tiny little minions. My daughters keep giving them to me as gifts.

    I want that fart gun.

    I recently flew out of Sioux City, their airport code is SUX, LOL
    This airport has 2 gates and one security line.
    Well they do suck, because they took away one of Harper's toys, a little 3-4 inch tall square that had colored oil and water in it and you flip it upside down and watch the oil fall down the maze.
    The TSA guy took it and said "Hmm...this probably has more than 3 ounces in it."
    Harper was sad.
    When we were boarding I looked back and the TSA guy was PLAYING WITH IT and showing his TSA friend.
    Bonus- In his haste to confiscate Harper's deadly toy, he overlooked the Swiss army knife in my bag.
    (I didn't even know it was there, I found it when I got home)
    Way to go, SUX!


    I never try anything, I just do it. Wanna try me?

    My grandson has one. He loves it. It also makes a banana smell when fired. He would be devastated if someone took it away.

    IKR? What kind of asshole thinks it's a good idea to let a toddler bring a farting toy onto a plane? Since they got so indignant about security taking it, I'm sure they would have been total dicks to any annoyed fellow passengers if they'd got through security with the toy.
