TSA Lets Loaded Guns Past Security, on to Planes
Transportation Security Administration allowed a New Orleans Hornets executive to board a plane from New Orleans to Newark, N.J., with a loaded handgun in his baggage.abcnews.go.com
Have you ever tried to get to your checked baggage while a plane is in flight?
Yeah, me neither.
It's not illegal to pack a firearm in checked luggage. The firearm needs to be declared, though, and unloaded. It would appear, according to your link, that loaded, undeclared firearms were stowed in checked luggage.
While that certainly should be addressed, the situation does not present a danger to passengers or crew...
