Airport security is a nightmare.

The long lines, having to take off your shoes, putting your liquid is coke baggie-sized Ziplocs–it’s stressful.

You think if you were a celebrity it wouldn’t be as bad–everyone recognizes you, and one of the Osmond’s isn’t going to blow up the plane (but Danny Bonaduce probably would).

Too Short shows how you handle airport security like a bawss:

The rapper was at Burbank Airport Thursday when he put his bag on the conveyor belt, and as it rolled he realized there was a loaded gun inside. We’re told his reaction was immediately — GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE.

Problem is … Short’s wallet and shoes were also on the conveyor, so he left in his socks and without cash.

We’re told Too Short got in his car, drove off and called his lawyer and asked what to do. We’re told the lawyer told him to go on his merry way and that he’d clean up the mess.

By the way, he just got a ticket for firearms possession and flew private from Van Nuys airport to San Francisco.

THAT is how you do it, folks.

When in doubt…call your lawyer.
