TSA – Page 2 – The War on Guns

It’s Time to Play TSA Kabuki!

Criminal Gangs Exploit Security Gaps to Infiltrate Airports [M o re]

It’s paywalled, but the headline tells us enough.

Remember that the next time Mad Maxie feels you up.

Lucy! You Got Some ‘Splainin’ To Do!

Officials say the man blamed his wife and told them that she packed his carry-on bag and he did not know that the loaded gun was inside. [More]

That ain’t the way it works, pal.

Then again, seeing as his first reaction was to throw her under the bus, maybe she set him up.

Offensive Holding

2A TOUCHDOWN: COULD NFL PLAYER USE 2ND AMENDMENT TO DESTROY MASSACHUSETTS GUN LAWS AND MORE? [W atch]

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.

You Had Me at ‘SS’

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…

J’Accuse…!

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.

In the Bag… Uh, Not Again…

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…
