Florida woman who flew to Australia for clown school jailed over 24ct gold pistol

"Ct" is not the symbol for gold purity.

It's "K" for Karat.

The rest of the article is f'd up, too.

Oof, lots to unpack with this nutjob:

“She claimed that she had forgotten it was in her bag, after telling customs officers that she did not have any prohibited items with her.

But police later discovered she had searched online for an answer to the question: “Can I have a gun in my suitcase?” and set a calendar reminder to herself to “put gun in suitcase”.

Goodson later said she had brought the gun into the country as protection, even though she was “scared” to shoot it and would more likely “pistol whip” anyone who attacked her.

She had, however, declared that she was carrying a cat’s spine, squirrel feet and rabbit urine, the Daily Mail reported. It is unclear why she travelled with those items.

They also discovered her search history included, "Is it illegal to beat up a kangaroo?" and "how easy is it to have sex with a dingo?"

Did the TSA give her a pass because she is so photogenic?

Anyone check that bag...apparently not.

A pistol that size would be hard to miss if someone was doing their job.

Getting laughed out of town for your appearance does not mean you have to go to clown school in another country.

Used to live near LA (lower Alabama) when I was in the military...she would NOT be accepted.
