    Watching Fox news and they said Israeli secrect service agents had to check their guns at the airport and some of them disappeared. They just described them as Glocks. Probably Glock 17's is my guess. Another great agency using Glock's. Can't beat em.

    Which, of course, conveys nothing about their inherent quality or design. :dunno:

    Airline Loses Luggage of Israeli Security Detail; 4 Guns Missing
    Bags go missing at JFK; turn up in LA

    American Airlines workers at John F. Kennedy Airport apparently lost luggage belonging to security officials for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, officials said Tuesday.

    The lost suitcase -- with weapons inside -- was eventually discovered in Los Angeles. Four Glock 9 mm handguns that were in the bag are now missing and police officials say they believe they were stolen.

    The bag was supposed to have been on the flight from JFK to Washington DC where additional Israeli security officers were being assigned to help with the Israeli leader's visit with President Obama at the White House.

    Port Authority police at JFK are now investigating whether the guns were stolen in New York or after the errant bag arrived in Los Angeles. Officials said security protocols require travelers with handguns to pack the weapons and send them via checked luggage.

    A spokesman for the Israeli Consulate referred all calls about the lost bag and the missing handguns to American Airlines.

    "When you have a situation related to security, we allow the appropriate law enforcement agencies to handle the situation and we refrain from commenting publicly, so that we don't hamper an investigation," said Tim Wagner, a spokesman for American Airlines.

    think this might lead to alternate more secure procedures for movement of firearms in passenger airlines?

    Oh no biggie I'm sure they (Irseal secret service) can just buy a few more of those ugly plastic black evil guns on the black market in NYC or DC. After all it's not like either of those 2 cities have any issues with guns since they have those nice "gun bans" in effect.

    As another poster mentioned...why were they flying commercial. And, being Isreali Secret service and all...would think that might give them the ability to carry on board. Guess since they didn't have their man to protect they were forced to be like the rest of us.

    They wouldn't have the ability or 'license' to carry on any commercial US flight. They were most likely not the primary protection force.
