Actually, this is the way you SHOULD transport a firearm: in the checked luggage, as opposed to in the carryon. It is not illegal to travel with weapons you are licensed for. Now, to fulfill some more...

I was just about to comment the same way. I don't like the TSA, but this article is just muck-stirring or fearmongering. The security alternative would have been a loaded weapon in the cabin. This...

I am comforted by the knowledge that should the movie Air Force One occur in real life (let's be honest, the TSA would be more concerned with testicles and breasts than AK-47's), Harrison Ford would be...

Security rules require firearms to be in a locked case. You even have to declare them at the ticket counter so they can give you a little piece of paper to put with it so the baggage screeners know...

That gun certainly should not have been packed loaded, and not packed so carelessly that it could just fall out like that; there was a small but non-zero chance that it could have gone off when it hit...

You missed the part where the TSA takes no responsibility for the contents of your luggage yet still feels the need to break in to see what's inside.

Just because it's not their duty to secure checked baggage doesn't mean they don't feel entitled to steal valuables from them.

Inappropriate response to jack-booted thugs. I think you've just encapsulated the present American decline: people are unable to deal with reality, just burst into laughs when "some TSA agent is...

Agreed, I don't even think it needs to be dismantled in anyway, however, it should definately have been unloaded. An unloaded gun in checked baggage is less dangerous than a Snuggie wrapped around...

"This fault lies entirely with the owner of the weapon." I disagree, I think they share guilt. Yes the weapon should have been unloaded, but shouldn't the airline be responsible for verifying that the...

Tim, nice bit of writing, but your anger is somewhat misplaced. The "loaded" part is the fault of the gun owner. Transporting a weapon should be done in a secure manner, and any failure to do so goes...

I'm outraged at the fact that the TSA gets to search us in ways that they do not get to search Congress members. The nobility gets different treatment.

I am sorry for my previous comment, I am off my meds and can't stay away from forums when that happens. Please ignore anything I say on here from now on.
View ArticleTSA is responsible
TSA does screen, and is responsible for checked bags as well as carry on. The screenings for checked bags emphasize explosives rather than hand weapons. The gun falling out does not meet the shipping...

View ArticleRe: Re: This is halfway as it should be
Aren't bags scanned before they get loaded? Surely legally carried guns should have to be declared? If this got through, what's to say something a little more explosive can't go the same route?
