Really funny and concerning story here.
I think that terrorists are going to start taking down planes with water bottles instead of explosives...here is my insider information as to why:
I am out of town right now working and just had a moment to reflect on my experience with the airport...
I am going to Colorado in a week and will be taking my handgun with me. I have read and re-read the "guidlines" on the Southwest and TSA websites for transporting a firearm. My concern is the case that I will be transporting it in. I am wanting to use my factory case from Kimber which is hard...
Reason gives a heads up on a piece by CNN. Looks like the air marshals are more concerned with paper work and bureaucracy than actuall doing anything substantive. More tax dollars down the drain for the security circus.

How would we fare with the airlines in charge of their own security as opposed to the TSA? I'll hang up now and listen.
Full body scanners that were touted after the Christmas Day jihadi attack fall flat on their faces on live German television.

The System still works!
Maybe this is some kind of entrapment program that federal law enforcement is running? Leave guns about an airport and see if anyone picks them up.
Remember, they are the only ones professional enough to carry guns.:D...

TSA has said that the body scanner images cannot store or transmit the images and that all images will be deleted once the scan is done.

Well, well, well, looky here. Looks like the fact that body scanners are able to store and transmit naked images of you and your kids will eventually be admitted by TSA.
How is TSA not aiding and abetting Child Pornography and Voyuerism on a state level and many different federal statutes...
Their new scanners are apparently pretty good. With a twist of the knob they can pretty much see everything. Guess whose children won't be going through one of these anytime soon?
