Article states he used KCM... Apology accepted Mr. Shroom!

Gotta love how people immediately turn crap like this into us vs. them....we need to work together not bash each other.. It was a stupid move done by someone who could've worked anywhere

Eh, I don't see how this wouldn't have been thought of as a possibility by the powers that put the program in place.
Pilots have been forgetting guns in bags for as long as I can remember.

KCM is a trust-based system, plain and simple. Well, a small sliver of the crew population happen to be complete idiots. Doesn't mean you can't still trust them. Guaranteed the guy didn't know it was in the bag, unless he was really just that tired of doing Canada visits. We are trustworthy idiots.

2 steps forward, 1 step back...

Just another pilot to make the rest of us look stupid and irresponsible.

If he knew it was in the bag, did he think he was going to get it through the x-ray machine?

You could give a gun to every single airline pilot tomorrow, and the threat of malicious action by those pilots would be about zero. Accidents and theft would be the greater dangers. My point is we are all trustworthy, but a few are careless, so the real danger is like I said, theft or accidents. The guy had no intent to do anything with the gun in Canada, because he didn't think it was with him. Just a bad ooopsie.
