Was she already holding this eyebrow trimmer in her hands when she was accosted? One would think that she’d have to do some digging in her purse in order to find such a weapon. Nicely done, though.

Do they take these away from people boarding planes?

Women should always have some sort of weapon available when walking alone. An eyebrow trimmer, a Swiss Army knife, a Rotweiller, or an Uzi. My daughter has a black Lab/Rotweiller mix that is as gentle as a lamb to people she knows, but I would feel very safe walking around with her almost anywhere. Even better than having an attorney nearby!

Soon, we’ll only see women with bushy eyebrows; Libs will outlaw these devices—any self-defense tools must be eradicated.
The Brits are now on the verge of outlawing knives, no joke. Taking away gun rights just didn’t go far enough.
