It is not TSA's job to look for guns. If they are doing their job properly and there is nothing identified as a threat in the bag, the bag containing the gun is supposed to be passed. TSA is not supposed to check any log to see if a gun was declared, because it is not their job to look for guns. If Southwest keeps a log, it's a surprise to me, I spent an awful lot of time behind SWA counters during my time at TSA and I never saw any indication of a log, nor did I ever observe an entry made on a terminal that indicated a gun in a checked bag.

Unfortunately, every airport does it different, even if TSA is supposed to follow NATIONAL standards.

Generally, at Love Field, the ticket agents gave us a courtesy notice, and directed the passenger to come to the screening area where, if their bag passed otherwise, it went on its merry way, and so did the passenger.

I could often identify the gun just by the silhouette and used to chat with people about their guns.

Loaded guns were a different matter.
