How can anyone be so stupid. Did they think they would slip through?
Independence reference quick tip:
Any time the TSA is involved, they are the ones in the wrong.
Seriously. Fuck them, and the horse they rode in on. They get far less than no sympathy from me.
I'll take a guy with a large vest and AK-47 yelling "aloaha snackbar" over one second with the TSA.

TSA sucks, but you couldn't bring a loaded pistol on a flight before TSA either so they're not really relevant here lol
"TSA officers say they detected a loaded .45 semiautomatic handgun among the man’s carry-on items as he was entering a security checkpoint."
Exactly. How can a man be so stupid as to think he should have the right to have a gun with him in AMERICA!? He didn't even have it on him!
Once again, the TSA prevents a NOTHING from happening.
Fuck the TSA.

Other than the fact that, you know, they are taking total credit.
But they never seem to with the multiple sexual assault claims that are brought about by them on a daily basis. Or the complete security FAILURES they let through.

Well, at least he didn't violate the SAFE Act and have 'high-capacity' clipazines 'cause that would have made it worse somehow.

Darth. I'm not here to argue TSA with you man lol. This dumbass tried to get on a plane with a gun in his carry on, you can't do that and couldn't lol.
Sorry, not buying the "dumbass" thing.
Why in the world should it be a "given" in America, that "oh...you can't take that gun there! EVERYBODY knows that!"
I guarantee you I've taken my gun to verbotten places and never even known.
Guy had a gun in his bag, got on a plane. Who cares? Oh, but he didn't have it go through THIS particular bureaucratic red tape first...

The other mag Im guess was for a glock 21 as the article said he was carrying a spare mag with 14 xtra rounds.
No mention if he was charged with having more then 10 rounds

maybe because firing a weapon on a plane could breach the fuselage and depressurize the cabin? Everyone in the US knows you can't take a gun on a plane and you're full of it if you think otherwise. I do know you love to play devil's advocate though, so have at it

Uh, no. The picture pretty clearly shows two 7 round mags.
Wong on both counts.
The depressurization thing is demonstrably false, and I do think otherwise. No devil's advocate here. You still haven't answered the question, so I'll spell it out again:
Why, in America, do you think there are places that "everyone should just know" you can't have a gun? Without a doubt it violates the constitution, so please, explain what was so terribly wrong or stupid with what this man did?
So the fuselage gets a hole through it. It's not like the air pressure difference is enough to do much from a tiny hole. The system that pressurizes the cabin would be able to compensate for at least a few holes.
Billions wasted on the TSA to "Keep up safe" is a false sense of security. How many Terrorists have been caught? Not to mention not being allowed to carry anywhere in America is against the Constitution but illegal search and seizure is an everyday thing also.

lold @ typo.
We're arguing DIFFERENT THINGS. You're arguing that he should be allowed to bring a gun, I'm not arguing anything to do with that right. I don't really give a fuck, I don't want a loaded gun on a plane but that's got exactly 0 to do with the fact that everyone in the country knows you AREN'T ALLOWED to bring one on a plane, and haven't been able to SINCE BEFORE TSA. So bringing one on a plane is 100% retarded.
If you disagree then I invite you to give it a try. I'll mail you my gopro and buy you the ticket, only requirement is that you record and post everything.
No? You don't want to do that? WHY NOT?
Sorry Darth, but I think the people who were on Aloha Airlines Flight 243, including the stewardess who was sucked out and killed might disagree with you on that point...

"In front of a COP!"
Sorry Will, didn't recognize you there.
You are flat up lying about "everybody KNOWS you can't bring a gun on a plane", and you CAN bring a gun on a plane. He just happened to not go through the correct line of bullshit bureaucratic red tape. You CAN bring a gun on a plane, so even YOU are wrong about something "everybody knows."
I won't do it "in front of a cop" or "at the airport" as people that are wrong in their arguments often ask me to do because I, one of the small niche of people that at last attempt to understand NY gun laws, know that the TSA violates the constitution in this respect. Do most people have no idea? Yes.
Airlines are private anyway. Laws or not, it will be against their policy to carry a firearm onto a flight. He shouldve known better, as basically the whole world knows this. Careless.
Then they'd be wrong, as that completely unrelated incident has nothing to do with shooting a gun in a plane. This sums it up quite clearly:
Until the government, TSA, gets involved. Hence the clear violation.
If it were truly up to the private airline, I'd be fine with it. I'd never fly on any airlines banning carrying.
I think Darth was referring to a bullet hole causing massive depressurization leading to a catastrophic failure and not something like what happened with Flight 243. They are totally different.

Incorrect. Airlines are private. There is nothing unconstitutional about restricting guns on their private planes. You can indeed carry in an airport. You just cannot in the holding pen before boarding the private planes.
As far as the guy knowing, there are pictures posted every 10 ft while in line before getting to the X-ray machine which is not used for detecting broken bones. Another tell is the guy with the wand standing there searching people.
The guy was stupid or forgetful and you are being a dick for defending him as if he didn't know.
Wrong.
TSA is a government entity. Airlines have no control on that aspect.
If it were truly up to the private business, I'd be fine with it. It's not.
Your thoughtful opinion of me continues to mean nothing.

Airlines pay the TSA to screen their passengers.

Regardless, to say the guy didn't know is just ridiculous. Even for you.
