I’m just happy they found them. Historically, the TSA doesn’t do a good job finding guns.
Well, that is an entirely different point. TSA is 99% security theater to make people feel safe. If they found a record number of weapons, but on the other hand miss most of them anyway, did they miss a record number of weapons, too?
People are so god damned stupid
We shouldn’t need to issue PSAs about not bringing your gun in your carry on, but here we are.
One time I had a giant Costco-sized thing of Tums in my bag and they brought out the drug sniffing dog and the science kit to take one - from the still unopened bottle - and test it.
It was a minor annoyance, but I couldn’t imagine packing to go to the airport and not making sure I don’t have a loaded gun on me first. That would be the first step, before ID or whatever.
TSA does not own any drug sniffing dogs. All of their dogs are trained solely for the detection of explosives. The TSA is very open about the fact they are not looking drugs.
Huh….well I assumed drugs. Interesting!
At least TSA has something to do now lol
They fine $15k for every violation. They’re making bank
7000 guns. With those numbers they should simply accommodate the customers. Simply provide gun locks at each checkpoint.
- “It looks like you have a gun on you, sir. Please place this gun lock on it. It will be unlocked by an agent at your destination”
- “Yes officer, I forgot I had a gun in my sock, sorry. Thank you for the lock. Bye.”
Problem solved.
People who are dumb enough to try taking a loaded gun onto an airplane are lacking the mental capacity to own a gun without endangering other people. In civilized countries, this usually will lead to a revocation of your firearms licence.
If the person is charged and convicted it is effectively the same result in the US, as it constitutes a felony and convicted felons are barred from firearms purchase and possession.
