Notes from the Resistance
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.
2A TOUCHDOWN: COULD NFL PLAYER USE 2ND AMENDMENT TO DESTROY MASSACHUSETTS GUN LAWS AND MORE? [Watch]
I don’t have a lot of sympathy for anyone so cavalier about the practice that they forget they have a gun, but the only malicious, predatory intent meriting resistance I see here is coming from the tyrants.
I do think it’s funny to see the NFL trying to tiptoe the line between its anti-gun virtue signaling and being afraid to agitate the “institutional racism” fanatics.

According to the TSA, any passenger with the four-letter code on their boarding pass can be swabbed for the residue of illegal substances, such as drugs or explosives. Those passengers will also face additional questioning about travel plans and previous trips. The special security measures that come with an SSSS code can add an additional hour to the security check process. [More]
Tell me THAT’s not a loophole “we” should close!
I wonder if Mad Maxie will be our inquisitor…

Madison Cawthorn pleads guilty after bringing loaded handgun to Charlotte airport [More]
F***in’ moron. And twice now. No excuse for this.
Who does he think he is? Shemane Nugent?

If this is the case, how does TSA not only label someone a terrorist but also have someone within the TSA, without any research or follow-up, manipulate a national security database and enter false information that Bill’s wife had broken into the Capitol? [More]
And then consider all the totalitarian Democrats screaming “terror loophole” demanding imposed gun prohibitions.

ABF Commander Justin Bathurst said the arrest spoke to the diligence of the force’s officers and sophistication of the country’s detection technology. [More]
Either that or of the utter incompetence of TSA at LAX…
Here’s hoping they ID the “U.S. woman” before scrubbing her social media. I always like to see if they leave political affiliation clues…
Officials say the man from Newark, Delaware told officers he forgot that he had his loaded gun on him. [More]
Being that witless comes awful damn close to needing a custodian.

TSA agents find gun inside raw chicken at Florida airport [More]
Here’s the part I can’t believe:
It is unclear if the gun was loaded or if the gun’s owner is facing criminal charges.
Maybe the traveler forgot it was there?

TSA: Illegals Can Use Civil Immigration Arrest Warrants as an ID to Get on Planes [More]
Hey, if it’s “government-issued ID,” why can’t they use them to vote?
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”. And I have that on good authority…
