Glock 7. Easy to get through security, but they cost more than you make in a month.

After watching the TSA...





I bet someone could smuggle a Ma Deuce through...



eta- But not a pair of nail clippers.

OMG! I guess all those CBS News reports from the 1980s and Die Hard 2 were right after all!

Have you seen the screeners?  Lowest common denominator in many cases.  

After seeing the video, the image on the screen could have easily been identified with pattern recognition software.  Perhaps we should let the morons run the belt advance button and let the computers look for guns.

Actually, I would think that the people they hire as TSA screeners would be the ones most familiar with what a Glock looks like, especially since it would be going through the scanner sideways.

It would not be difficult to smuggle in whatever illicit thing you wanted in many many small loads and stash them throughout the terminals. Once you had gotten enough in, go fetch it all and get on a plane.

TSA sucks.

Well, he was Irainian-American, so finding the Glock would have been "profiling"

Great, now we will have to ban Glocks for the children.

Perhaps we could persuade Messr. Glock to add a steel plate in the grip that says, "ARREST ME NOW." Then the TSA would have instructions to follow.
What language should it be, so that the screeners can understand it?

Everyone is forgetting the most important question: was the GLOCK owner's junk groped sufficiently enough as per new TSA regs?

Geez, he was an Iranian American on an international flight!



Wonder if he was able to get it back into the US.

I think it should be in pictures as I had a hard time believing that 80% of them can read or follow direction
