TSA Finds Four to Five Guns Daily In Carry-On Bags
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/02/tsa-transportation-security-administration-carry-on-luggage_n_1071430.html

'Government screeners every day confiscate four to five guns -- some of them loaded -- packed in carry-on luggage at the nation's airports, a sign that travelers "are not focused on the security protocols," the head of the Transportation Security Administration said Wednesday at a Senate hearing.'

snip

'Pistole did not specify whether people caught trying to bring guns aboard aircraft did so with ill intent, were unaware that guns were prohibited, or had forgotten they had packed them.'

Newsflash! People are still assholes.
