I’m kind of curious about the “Unknown Types” category. What constitutes an unknown type of gun and why were 90% of them “lost”?
Silencers also seem to get misplaced at a suspiciously high rate. It almost makes me think that they aren’t being put to ends that benefit the general good.
“I’ve made a note sir. We’ll let you know if it turns up, and we’ll alert the gate at your destination as well… you’re flying home to Florida is that correct?”
um, this happens EVERY SINGLE DAY, the tsa fails 95% of weapons tests
has nothing to do with the shutdown, the TSA is puppet theater since day one
everyone has forgotten already? everyone complacent and allows themselves to be groped for no reason? that was record time sheeple, remember when there were protests during holiday season but not for years now
these aren’t well educated college grads doing security, they are high school dropouts working the machines and given responsibility way over their head - there is also a large amount of theft, harassment and turnover in the tsa
This. So much this. The TSA spends all its effort searching for things like water bottles and explosives in shoes, which does nothing to improve security but everything to inconvenience travelers. We need to dissolve this arm of the police state.
Smaller than a credit card. They asked me to take it out, examined it then gave it back. Professional, efficient and very polite - I know where I prefer travelling.
It sounds like he realized it before he got onto the flight, which is lucky for him, because while the TSA might not have harsh penalties for him, Japan would. And Japan wouldn’t even be the most harsh. I believe some Asian countries have a death penalty for gun smuggling. Wouldn’t be nice to arrive in Singapore with a gun.
My wife carries a big (4" blade) folding knife in her purse. Makes her feel safe. Anyway, she texts me from the airport after taxiing there from home, telling me she forgot it was in her purse and asking me what to do about it. I tell her to find a place at the airport to mail it home. This is a high quality Benchmade knife I bought her, well over $100 to replace.
Eventually she gets around to telling me she is already through the security checkpoint. Facepalm! She ended up mailing it back from her destination. I have no idea how they missed such a full-size folding knife in the scan.
