Gabrielle Union was shocked yesterday when she was stopped by security at an airport because her weave set off the alarm.

The Think Like A Man actress was making her way through a bodyscan at an unspecified airport when the security alarm went off. 

"Ma weave got "flagged" by the bodyscan at security. TSA required a hair patdown. No lie...they coulda just asked if it was the temple hair," she told her Twitter followers.

"If human hair & thread sets off the bodyscanner...a lot of folks jus ended up on the "watch list"...its a weave not terrorism."

When a follower complained that she always gets stopped by a black security guard, Gabrielle replied: "Girl it WAS a black female TSA agent!"

Despite the hassle of being stopped on her journey, Gabrielle saw the funny side of the situation and joked: "Bout to take off...hopefully my weave doesn't cause turbulence...its clearly very powerful :)"
