If you're carrying what they consider to be too much money, they might call the police on you and accuse you of stealing from your spouse.MadMonkey wrote:Whaaaaat? I've never heard that one...stevie_d_64 wrote:Not sure I dig the fact that they like to pilfer through your wallet
That's always been my understandingRebel wrote:I'm late to the show, but just wanted to verify that the actual container holding the firearm is only to be opened by the owner, the TSA guys are never to have access to the keys/combo to those locks. So that means no TSA locks.
No, that's what we want! Then they only have to bother the people who are acting suspiciously. I get that they'll probably have to keep scanning bags in case somebody sneaks a bomb into somebody else's carry-on, but all the rest of it can go away if they can look at a crowd and say, "that guy, in the green shirt, he's the one acting like poo is about to go down."Rex B wrote:Last paragraph of the linked story:
"TSA spokeswoman Ann Davis said the reason Parker was selected for in-depth screening was that her actions at the airport had aroused the suspicion of a behavior detection officer"
I find it troubling that there is a "Behavior detection officer". George Orwell would be proud

Yep, 40-something blond housewives have taken down their fair share of airliners.Dave2 wrote:Only because they aren't the only ones we have to watch out for.Rex B wrote:I guess a "Jihadist Detection Officer" is out of the question?
Being po' and single, I don't have that particular problem. They still aren't going to look through my wallet, though.hirundo82 wrote:If you're carrying what they consider to be too much money, they might call the police on you and accuse you of stealing from your spouse.MadMonkey wrote:Whaaaaat?

I admit it's a [possibility. But what i have found is, while they do not like it at all.. Out of the group (usually a LEO) one or more of the group will actually be interested in doing the right thing, it only takes one.kyreb wrote:" Having the TSA web site guidance, a copy of the regulations and a copy of the airline policy for traveling with firearms on your person stored with your
carry on is greatly recommended. It has saved me several times now from unneeded hassle with ignorant airline and TSA employees."
Providing you get someone that is able and is willing to read the regs. I feel sure the people I dealt with would have told me to stuff the regs. They were adamant they knew all the rules and insisted I add TSA locks or I could take my gun case back to the house.....
Oh yes, they'll look through whatever the little twerps want to look through, and, you'll just stand there and take it like a "good" citizen.Dave2 wrote:Being po' and single, I don't have that particular problem.

you'll be able to reason with them using common sense. I look forward to your future post shipwreck wrote:I know there is a way to bring a gun on a flight, but I refuse to do it. I feel like it is too big of a gamble that someone will steal the thing, or it will be lost. If I want to go somewhere and bring a gun, I just drive...
