"A gun was found in a bathroom at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport Thursday night, reported NewsChannel5.

City officials say the gun belonged to a federal air marshal. They do not know which terminal it was found in, or whether it was a men's or women's restroom.

A passenger found the gun, and promptly turned it into authorities.

NewsChannel5 spoke with the mayor's press secretary, Celeste Glasgow, who said that this kind of carelessness is "unacceptable". "

Making the airways safer....

1. I got see a marshal in action on a flight. What a hoot!

He sat across from me, and he spent the whole flight (Chi to BWI) looking up for a few seconds at a time and filling out a multi-page checklist form. Every time he reached into his pants pocket for his handkerchief, his sidearm was exposed; the flight attendants checked on him constantly and brought him a hot meal (the rest of us got peanuts and beverages); and he napped after he finished his checklist.

What a joke! Security is an illusion!
