Do I feel safer as an air traveler from the knowledge that TSA is justifying its existence by finding CHL holders who were careless about removing their gun from the off body carry container they use every day but have absolutely no intention to harm anyone and having them hauled off to jail?

My answer is no.

The question I want to see answered to better understand the effectiveness and need for the TSA is:

How many of the seized guns belonged to gang bangers, convicted felons, and unlicensed persons with ties to jihadist groups?

I'm still searching for that statistic.
Agreed and there is no way they will make those statistics available.

Yes.

Is the current policy absurd?

Yes.

Vote in the election it is important.
IMHO, CHLs should be allowed to carry on planes, but an instructional leaflet passed out reminding them of De-pressurization danger if a weapon discharges while up in the air...

That isn't something we have to consider with feet planted on the ground.
Actually, this has been discussed quite a bit. Based on what several pilots and others in the aviation industry have said, depressurization is greatly overblown. The concern would be the wires running under the floor that control the aircraft.
