TSA Blog

Some pretty interesting info. For example:

Over 1,200 firearms were discovered at TSA checkpoints across the nation in 2011. Many guns are found loaded with rounds in the chamber. Most passengers simply state they forgot they had a gun in their bag.

Small chunks of C4 explosives were found in passenger’s checked luggage in Yuma (YUM). Believe it or not, he was brining it home to show his family.

A FLARE GUN with SEVEN FLARES was found in a passenger’s carry-on bag at Norfolk (ORF).

And so it goes...

One of my favs was the loaded .380 strapped to the ankle. "I forgot." I can totally see how a person could forget a pistol in a bag...not strapped to a body part.

Very interesting facts. It's a great reminder that the inconveniences caused by TSA do pay off. Unfortunately I still find it hard to forgive them sometimes when I read the articles from these threads.

Would have liked to see their records for all the confiscated foods, drinks, soaps, mouthwash, toothpaste ect. ect.
