If the claim is true what kind of shitforbrains forgets they have a loaded gun in their carry on? I get worried about accidentally having something as small as hair trimming scissors in my bags

You would be absolutely amazed.Worked with TSA for a few years. Highlights;

  1. White lady yells at me and demands to know why she can't have her bowie knife on the plane because "I don't even look like a terrorist. I'm not Muslim!"

  2. Man vehemently argues that carrying his pistol on the plane is a second amendment right and I'm an "agent of the gestapo"

  3. Pat down a man who opts out of the body scanner. Feel a gun on his side while patting him down. Immediately shit myself and call for my supervisor. He goes "I think now I'm supposed to let you know I'm a cop. It's okay!"

Twenty-three total weapons confiscated is definitely an alarming number, but if you dig a little deeper, you'll see one data point is skewing the facts: I (/u/Wojiz) had seventeen weapons confiscated on a trip last April (nineteen if you count the weapons removed from my person, rather than my luggage, following a lengthy standoff with police on the tarmac).

Well, what I'm trying to say is that this incident is an outlier distorting the data.

Why would I be posting this from jail?

Because you said you were in a police standoff on the tarmac and they seized 17 weapons from you or did I read that wrong? Lol

Have people got stupid? You can take your gun but it has to be in your baggage and there are a few hoops to jump through. Everybody should know not to try Carry On.

I just saw a Florida resident got caught in an airport I believe in PA. l'd like to know how they got from FL to PA.
