In the comments on that article, someone using the monicker "Das Boot" writes:
I had a paper cutout of a hand gun i was planning to purchase in my breif and it was confiscated, why wasn't that on the news, I think these people are nothing more than a joke and every-time I see them when I am going through search I laugh and they ask me "WHY are you laughing"? I ask them "why do you ask, is my laughing coming out of my mouth in the shape of a gun or bomb?'
So, I guess it'd be "Yes, pictures of guns are also subject to confiscation by the TSA."
(I fully expect a TSA "employee" to pop by and remind us all that the TSA doesn't "confiscate" anything, which we should all recognize by now as an outright lie based on slippery semantics.)
