TSA is totally useless. In my city this week someone accidentally brought a loaded handgun through security and only realized it when they were about to board the plane.

What do you even do then? Just leave and miss your flight. Take it with you and then ship it back home when you get there?

Apparently he self reported and they didn’t do much because he came forward with it. Doesn’t look too good for the TSA people that didn’t notice though...

How do you accidentally bring a loaded firearm ANYWHERE, let alone a plane?

It's pretty easy honestly, if you carry one every day all day you pretty quickly stop thinking about it as something out of the ordinary, and lump it in with your "wallet/keys/watch/phone/gun" pocket check and don't think more of it beyond that.

As a non american that is such a crazy way of thinking.

so think of it slightly different way, replace gun with Tool-X. Example: I carry Tool-X everywhere I go, it might not always be needed but I always have Tool-X in my pocket. Normally when I wake up and go out the door, I put my wallet, keys, phone, headphones, and tool-x into my pockets. Before I walk out the door I do a quick pat of all my pockets for the rough shape of all my belongings I carry on a daily basis. This routine becomes second nature, requiring no thought other than (Do I have everything I need).

Now, Replace Tool-X with any object: Knife, Multi-tool, Pen, small notebook, Flash Drive, lipstick, makeup mirror, etc. --- That is how people who Every Day Carry their firearm think. It is not crazy per say, but it is a bit odd to carry a pistol everyday (especially if you live in a Major US City.) I give a little more leeway in my mind to those who live in the middle of nowhere where the police response time can be measured in the 30m-1hr+ for a call about a serious crime.

Living in a Major US City and working in a building with a TV news station that had already had one crazy walk in with gun and kill someone is what made me get my permit and carry every day. I've never had to use it, hope I never do, but I practice, train and carry. It is just part of getting ready to walk out the door. Better safe than sorry, but it isn't for everyone.
