I just got back from a business trip over the weekend which reminded me of the previous trip when I flew into/out of Knoxville, TN. The TSA had numerous photos of confiscated firearms, magazines and ammunition posted in the rat maze that funnels passengers through security. There were no photos of knives, scissors, drugs, liquids or any other confiscatable items, only firearms and related items. This had me wondering if TSA was trying to influence the public in some way.
Every poster had verbiage that sold the idea that the TSA employee was a hero and that a crime had been prevented that would have adversely affected other passengers. I found this to be disingenuous since the vast majority of firearms found in carry on bags are left there by mistake and not an attempt to hijack a plane or knowingly commit a crime.
This is not a political topic, at least I don't think it is.
