The gun components were discovered Monday inside the toys of a 4-year-old boy who was traveling with his father to Detroit.
"The TSA says (a) .40 caliber gun was artfully concealed in different pieces in the three animals.
A police spokesperson tells CBS This Morning authorities "believe this was related to an ongoing domestic dispute" in which the man's wife was trying to cause problems for her husband.

Lends credence to " Hell hath no fury like woman scorned " !
It's also an example that shows that even though TSA has modified the screening process for children 12 and under, the security process is still just as effective.
So ... Discovering something that someone planted with the specific intention that it should be discovered by the screening process is proof of effectiveness. Effectiveness at what?

Call me a liberal lame-o but I would be somewhat concerned if my wife knew how to dismantle a handgun in the first place.
Especially because I suspect the courts are going to question whether she should have ANY custody of the child. Someone who's that unhinged isn't going to look at any fallout as being her fault.
When I was in college I worked for our local child support enforcement agency. After that, nothing really shocks me about the lengths one parent will go to get the other parent in trouble. Calls demanding we throw the other parent in jail were a daily occurrence - and that was in cases where the other parent was actually paying what the owed.
