Notes from the Resistance
Passenger finds loaded magazine with mysterious inscription on Atlanta plane; FBI notified – Magazine containing ten hollow point rounds discovered near seat 7A during boarding for Cincinnati flight [More]
Sounds like Mad Maxie was “preoccupied” again.
FWIW, TSA Security Theater would not let my wife bring a jar of huckleberry jam she bought in Butte in her carry-on through the checkpoint, so she had to get a smaller, more expensive jar at the gift shop to bring home.
The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) issued a pressing warning to air travelers this week following the discovery of three firearms in carry-on bags since the start of the month. [More]
How do you sympathize with that level of obliviousness?
And I ask that as an “Armed Passengers” proponent.

San Luis Obispo officer attempts to board plane with loaded gun
January 30, 2025 [More]
Let’s see:
I could do this all day.
So why does the “Only One” story say “Investigators ultimately allowed the SLO officer to board the flight to Denver”…? Or did I just answer my own question?

Did you know that every time you search for guns or ammo online, someone’s watching? Well you probably already know, but if you think it’s just the algorithms that feed you ads, think again—the ATF is also watching your searches. Worse, they use your digital activity to shape bans and enforcement actions. And no, we’re not fear mongering here. Published reports confirm that your searches are being tracked, analyzed, and even used to forecast so-called “threats.” [Watch]
The question then becomes what do Donald Trump and whomever he appoints to head the Bureau intend to do about this?

Get your own SKU/QR code!
And just imagine the AI-enhanced deep fake/identity theft opportunities for hackers and those let into the system with bribes!
The ultimate goal, of course, isn’t just to categorize travelers. How many millions of unvetted illegal immigrants are occupying territory in this country again who won’t be affected one bit…?

The TSA officer detected the fully disassembled 9mm firearm in a carry-on bag at a checkpoint in Terminal A as the man’s duffle bag entered the checkpoint X-ray machine. The gun frame was jammed in the bottom of a boot below a sock that had been stuffed behind it to help conceal it. The gun’s slide, spring and gun magazine loaded with 12 bullets were detected mixed among the plastic pieces of a Black Panther LEGO set. [More]
Maybe he just forgot they were there…?

Biden-Harris DHS Ignores Risks of Allowing Released Migrants to Board Airline Flights Without ID [More]
Meanwhile, citizens who pay money and submit to biometrics and enhanced background checks to go through CLEAR, TSA Precheck, and GlobalEntry still get their privates groped.
We wouldn’t even have those if not for foreign national hijackers.
Absolute Bizarro World…
Why is Breitbart calling them “migrants”?

Normal Police Chief Petrilli ‘owns mistake’ of bringing loaded gun to the Bloomington airport [More]
Oh, no! He got a warning and may lose precheck eligibility!
Yeah, I’d say the lack of real consequences for “Only Ones” is pretty normal.
The rest of us, not so much…
Crazy, ain’t it?

“Ms. Miller told me she had not registered the firearm at this time,” the report said. “Ms. Miller told me her brother lived and purchased the firearm in (a redacted location). [More]
So between that, trying to get it through TSA, and what sounds like an illegal transfer, it looks like this “Mighty Democrat” is hoist on her own petard.
So, does she have a concealed carry permit?
They should have let her land in New York, where they have even more “Mighty Democrat” laws…
Who’s betting on a wrist slap?

A Broward Sheriff’s Office sergeant was arrested Tuesday at Miami International Airport after being caught with drugs by Customs and Border Protection officials, authorities said. [More]
What, was he high?
And if you think about it, the only thing between him and a lifetime gun prohibition is Hunter Biden.

The Texas Republican — infamously photographed by a gawker while en route to Cancún in 2021 — is proposing a bill amendment that would offer lawmakers a dedicated security escort at airports, along with expedited screening outside of public view. That could make it much less likely that the politicians’ comings and goings would become fodder for embarrassing news reports and late-night comedy mockery. [More]
Yeah, further separate them from the edicts they impose on the rest of us, that’s the ticket!
Read the room, Ted. Is this really what you think an angry electorate will embrace? The embarassment and handing political enemies an opening for comedic mockery is overwhelmingly self-created.

TSA finds anti-aircraft ammunition in bag, evacuates luggage room of Hawaiian airport… The team found a .50-caliber round of anti-aircraft ammunition inside a thermos. [More]
Somebody dig up something from Pearl Harbor? Does it look like somebody wanted an expended souveneir and wrongly figured the metal thermos would shield it from prying overreactors?
Oh, and for those wondering, that’s HNL’s elevation.

Chinese authorities have arrested Washington state Sen. Jeff Wilson, a Republican, for arriving with a gun in his luggage at Hong Kong International Airport Friday night. [More]
What does that say about Portland International TSA letting him through?
And you’ll have to forgive me if I don’t just accept a media “revolver” designation at face value.
