Ramblin Gambler Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Have any of the wizzards of smart speculated on why it increased so much? My own personal guess is that I bet overall airline travel went up in 2015. Someone let me know when they sell these guns at auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Don't have to sell them at auction. They can give them to Mexico for the Drug Cartel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Falcon, SASS # 46139 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Question of the Day: What happened to those 2653 guns?

Cat Brules Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 TSA should post the real facts: # terrorist caught since TSA inception: 0 # TSA people caught stealing passengers' property: 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead Monger Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I would never suggest an agency would manipulate facts to justify its existence. I would never accuse an agency of having an agenda contrary to the liberties specified by the constitution. I would certainly never accuse an agency of overstepping its authority by inturpiting its own rules rather than enforcing laws that exist. These are not the droids your looking for. Move along !

Cat Brules Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 I do think they are out of control. I'm on the side of "fabricated statistics," based on wild interpretation of "gun". A few years ago, I saw a woman lay into a TSA guy for speaking suggestively to, digging through and holding up for inspection, every (very) private thing an attractive little girl about 14-15 (traveling alone) had brought with her. Called him a pervert, among other things. Usually they scarcely look at me as I have been coded as a known, no-risk flyer (forget what that's called).

Bad Hand Posted January 23, 2016 Share Posted January 23, 2016 Thats only 7.2 guns a day. Consider that 1.73 million people fly every day for a total of almost 632 million a year, the figure seems believable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

backshootin beauford mcgee Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 If that is so, I'd love to know how many bottles of shaving cream, contact lense solution or oversized bottles of lotion they confiscated.

Seldom Seen #16162 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 TSA confiscated 2653 firearms from travelers carry-on bags in 2015. Stupid people giving gun owners a bad name Being confined to home due to recent major surgery means I am watching a lot more TV. I watched a news report just the other day about airport security. The video that accompanied the news report showed a TSA Agent conducting a pat-down search on a passenger who was a.... a elderly lady in a wheelchair. I personally witnessed the TSA performing a pat-search of a frail, elderly lady (80's yoa) in a wheelchair once when I was flying out. Maybe those 2,600 + passengers don't trust their safety with the TSA and are accepting responsibility for their own safety. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
