UK: Heathrow Airport security seizes “Toy Story” character Woody doll’s tiny toy gun

Feb 12, 2014 2:24 pm By Robert Spencer

o-WOODY-SEIZED-AT-HEATHROW-570

Rest easy, Britons! Heathrow Airport’s crack security team is keeping Britain safe from terrorism! Pamela Geller and I are banned from the country for telling the truth about jihad terror and supporting Israel, and Woody has been relieved of his gun! Safety and security have prevailed throughout the land!

Yes, the British government let in Muhammad al-Arefe, who has said: “Devotion to jihad for the sake of Allah, and the desire to shed blood, to smash skulls, and to sever limbs for the sake of Allah and in defense of His religion, is, undoubtedly, an honor for the believer. Allah said that if a man fights the infidels, the infidels will be unable to prepare to fight.” They also let in Hungarian anti-Semitic pro-jihad fascist Gabor Vona. And Muslim Brotherhood operatives are just fine with them: the door is open! What could possibly go wrong? Peace and security all around!

“Heathrow Security Plays It Safe, Takes ‘Toy Story’ Doll’s Fake Pistol,” by Ryan Grenoble for the Huffington Post, February 11:

Pay no mind to the “Toy Story” doll; security officers at Heathrow Airport aren’t playing around.

This, after a traveler with a cowboy figurine fashioned after the “Toy Story” character Woody says workers at London’s largest international airport pulled him aside and proceeded to disarm the doll of his tiny, fake six-shooter.

The doll’s caretaker, John Hazen, snapped a picture of Woody in the midst of his pat-down. He then shared the image on Reddit, with the caption, “security just confiscated his ‘weapon,’ keep the world safe boys…”

In a conversation with The Huffington Post, Hazen explained he was en route to Los Angeles via Heathrow when he heard the words most dreaded by any traveler moving through security: “We’ve got a problem with your bag.” Officers proceeded to extract Woody — who Hazen says has traveled the world, visiting far-flung destinations like New Zealand, Hawaii and Australia — and seize his toy gun.

Hazen added the security officer examining the toy was “very cordial and nice,” even checking with his superiors regarding whether or not they actually had to confiscate the item, which Hazen says has no moving parts. The doll does not typically come with its own gun; Hazen says his family added one later.

A representative at Heathrow could not confirm whether or not Woody been stripped of his weapon but did acknowledge a confiscation would be “a bit overzealous.”…

    Moreover, Anjem Choudary freely incites violence against pubs, pub patrons, British soldiers in civvies, gamblers and others he calls ‘immoral’ for not following Sharia law. The British government allows anyone to call for holy war against Britons who are the indigenous peoples of UK, but not to denounce those like Choudary who call for violence against them.

    Total madness.

    Woody without his six shooter is like a Moslem activist who just shaved his body clean without his bomb vest, or maybe an airplane to fly into a building.

    England has gone off the deep end, and they’ve dragged Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales with them down into the abyss.

    I’ve seen Burka-clad moslems NOT being searched? Why? Because it’s ”racist” and ”islamophobic”.

    Britain is finished – it’ll be the next Sweden/Belgium. Literally nobody gives notice to anything. Literally every town in UK has a (ever expanding) sizeable muslim population.

    As an example, I visited a **very** small town in Northern England. Literally just a few streets. I was shocked to see grovelling notices in the shop windows like ‘We respect your Ramadan – please report any staff member seen eating’ or ‘we can supply fresh halal meat’.

    The last indigenous Brit will STILL vote liberal and will STILL grovel and apologise while his throat is cut.

      How many Scraggly beard man-dress wearing Muslim men carrying fully loaded prayer mats slipped right on by unquestioned by overly politically correct airport security afraid of accusations of profiling while this confiscation was going on?

    Meanwhile a massive demographic shift is under way, many major cities in the UK are majority muslim areas, and the no go zones are increasing rapidly. Will the last non muslim in the UK please remember to turn out the lights.

    Are we even putting up ANY fight against the Islamization of the west? really, are we?

    Doesn’t appear so.

    We are so bent on appearing fair ,balanced and unbiased that we have forsaken common sense and rationality.

    I don’t know what the body count has to be before we admit to Islam being what it is but I suspect that it may take as much as a dirty bomb in NYC and the ensuing dancing in the streets in the Muslim world and the deafening silence and further cries of victimhood from Muslims in the west.

    What the hell happened to our sensibilities?

      We turned away from God, we are killing our own unborn children, we are redefining marriage, we are nothing but self-absorbed cowards…we deserve what we get!

      “For it had been better for them not to have known the way of justice, than after they have known it, to turn back from that holy commandment which was delivered to them. For, that of the true proverb has happened to them: The dog is returned to his vomit: and, The sow that was washed, to her wallowing in the mire.”
      2 Peter 21-22

      Satan has blocked their remembrance of the twin towers, the pentagon, Boston, etc., He has shown them a lie and they believed and they put a muslim in the white house. Where is the sensibility in that? The dog truly returned to his vomit.

    Waiting at Heathrow recently for a flight to Miami, it was discovered that I had inadvertently packed a tube of cream in my hand-baggage, whilst going through the x-ray machine. The entire contents were tipped out and minutely scrutinized and 45 minutes later were declared safe! Whilst I was waiting 3 hijabed women in long black skirts walked by with labels hanging declaring they were “security personnel”. This is what passes for staff these days in the UK. What a joke!!

    I wonder if they would have done the same to an ObL doll holding a toy AK-47? Wait, that would be “Islamophobic.”

    The Brits are just insane when it comes to guns & other weapons. Even pepper spray is illegal there, as well as pocketknives with blades longer than 2 inches. Some Limey doctors even wanted to ban kitchen knives with long blades a few years ago.

    And now they’re disarming sweet little Woody! They’ve got a serious case of hoplophobia (irrational fear of weapons), if there ever was one! If they ever get invaded again, we’ll have to send them rifles and shotguns, etc. to defend themselves, just like we did at the start of WWII.

    Britain is lost cause. The last straw was drawn when they banned Robert Spencer & Pamela Geller from attending a conference there, after this incidence anything could be expected from Britishers.
    Those guys are so screwed I don’t even feel pity on them anymore, largely because they themselves are responsible for their situation. It’s not even that they got caught unguarded, they had several examples from all over Europe to learn & set their course right but instead they chose to be sheep & jump into the dark well of islam like other Europeans.
    Taking another step towards fast islamisation of UK, now they’ve a ‘Sharia Compliant’ mortgage plan tailor made for moslems.

    I have read many articles about trout fishing in England. As an avid fisherman many the time have I daydreamed about going to England and fishing in the beautiful chalk streams which Izaak Walton once plied his trade. Maybe stopping by a quaint little pub and enjoying a glass of ale and socializing with the locals and taking the time to relish the rich history of the mother-land. But alas, with eyes cast down and hopes dashed I come to the realization that my dream will remain a dream. The vile, despicable cancer which has infected England to her death has destroyed all desires to even attempt a visit. It’s not just America, the world is dumbing down at an incredible pace thanks to islam.

      No: don’t stay away.

      Go; go *soon*. If you have the money to go: go. But before you do, get in touch with people like London Jim, and logdon, and Jan, and all the other refusing-to-give-up English folks.

      Go to the “New English Review”

      http://www.newenglishreview.org/

      site, and get in touch with the indomitable Esmerelda Weatherwax (use the “contact us” link); she would be able to tell you *exactly* where the best pubs still are (one of her little projects is photographing pub signs…which in Britain are, basically, an aspect of “folk art” and extraordinarily interesting). She might be prepared to act as a ‘native guide’ to parts of London.

      Go: think of it as a ‘recce’, and a morale-building expedition. The non-Muslim Brits need to see friendly faces.

      This bloke here – he’s a uni student, a young British man who has woken up

      http://defendthemodernworld.wordpress.com/

      – has put together a sort of tour guide for islamophobes.

        Thank you DDA, that is very kind and considerate of you.

        Feb 13, 2014 at 11:47 pm

        I agree, DDA—Britain, which is the font of the entire Anglophone world and all its freedoms, should not be given up without a fight.

        Jessie, I hope you *do* take that trip.

        Seventy-five years ago in the face of the Fascist threat it was important that England knew that Americans had not forgotten her—the same is true now.

        We all have to stand together—especially in the face of this suicidal appeasement and enabling of Islam.

    Woody never had a gun. In all the movies he only had an empty holster. Hmmm.

    It’s not about security stupid, it’s about compliance. It is easier to bring weapons on board a plane than for a woman to bring a bottle of cosmetics that is 1 oz over the limit.
