Yes, overreaction, that being said: how about flying with another purse...just saying.

I don't think the young lady expected the purse to be an issue. I think if you went to the TSA website, you wouldn't find "embossed reprentation of a firearm" in the list of prohibited items. She had already flown with the purse and had no previous problems (apparently at airports where Barney Fife did not work for the TSA). This is just common sense: the "gun" is basically a 3D picture that is neither operable, loadable, or potentially dangerous or lethal. Quite frankly, if there were no other items of any possible harm in the purse, ti was an inert, non-threatening object. (Although, some purses, in the hands of some women, can be formidible weapons, as are some of the contents some women carry...)
