TSA is a joke. Period. There is more than one major airport with ZERO keypad locks to the ramp. Anyone getting off a jet can run out to the ramp.

TSA people have too much power for their brain size.

TSA= Too Stupid for Arby's.

Perhaps I was living under a rock... but, no, I don't remember that. Interesting story.

My Google-fu is failing to produce any evidence on the investigation cited in the article (plenty of hits ca. 22 Mar 2008 re the incident, but no follow-up). Anything published on that? Curious to know the outcome, simply because "the gun went off" stated in most of the articles is nonsense. The trigger was pulled--whether that was the result of mis-handling or of poor procedures is the real question....

It was the locking holster that was issued that caused the problem. They were told it would happen, and it did. Those holsters were quietly retired and new ones issued. Problem solved.

Thanks for the link. All of their handgun courses combined appear to be very similar to what was taught when I went through my State's Police Academy.

Looks like a great opportunity for people to get a good set of handgun fundamentals.

Their carbine and shotgun courses are pretty good too.

It's not the Zombie. It's the government shutting down ammunition makers by buying their corporations.the last US smelting plant has closed. Now it'll have to be imported from overseas. But the government controls imports. So they won't allow it in. So yes. I'm hoarding my ammo.

When I think of the mythical ammo shortage I am reminded of P.T. Barnum and suckers. Congrats to the ammo industry for creating demand by making up this shortage in the not to distant future. Wonder how many years it will take before they have to switch tactics, maybe decades is a better tool to measure.

Anyone get any more?

If any TSA people are reading this, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your service as you fearlessly and tirelessly risk your lives every day to protect our freedom.
