Is Solange Knowles’ Afro A Flight Security Risk?

One thing we love about Solange Knowles is her natural hair, but it looks like the Transportation Security Administration does not. Earlier today, Knowles tweeted that the TSA searched her afro at the airport.
The “Losing You” singer tweeted:
I kid you not. This just happened to me:dfw.cbslocal.com/2011/09/21/tsa…

The link goes to a 2011 CBS article about the TSA patting down a Dallas woman’s afro on a train platform at Hartsfield-Jackson International airport in Atlanta. Making light of the situation, Knowles followed up with a slightly amused set of tweets:
Discrim-FRO-nation.My hair is not a storage drawer.Although, guess I couuld hide a joint up in here. *Blames “Romnesia” (my wigs name) — solange knowles (@solangeknowles) November 14, 2012
Lets play a little game called:”What did TSA find in Solange’s Fro”?

Her followers answered with hilarious gems like “Romney’s actual 5 point plan” and “The Proud Family”. Of course, there was nothing in Knowles’ hair and she got on her flight without a(nother) hitch.
