“TSA confiscated record number of guns from airline passengers in 2022”

Besides a qualified armed flight officer, any sworn peace officer can carry a weapon on a domestic flight.

The officer has to have completed the course “Flying While Armed”, and be traveling on department orders. His/her agency must contact the TSA via the law enforcement telecommunications computer in advance if the flight. The officer's itinerary is given, and if everything checks out a code is communicated back to the officer's agency. He presents his credentials and travel orders, as well as the confirmation code, and gets ushered into the flight.

So you are endorsing people should be allowed to carry guns on airplanes, great idea, sure the next shooter out there looking to get attention would agree with you

again, we all know your sever disdain for your fellow American and your perceived incompetence with firearms, but reality is that the quickest way to stop a mass shooter is to shoot back. And don't bother, we all know you'll predict more bodies because your fellow American is completely incompetent, in your opinion

“which might be,” that’s a good reason to doubt those job is to protect Americans

you are aware that the government, nor it's agents, are responsible or liable for providing protection to any individual absent some special relationship, right? So where did you get the notion that there are some agents out there tasked with protecting you?

Now you are claiming an absolute constitutional right to enter someone else's property with a gun? Really?

and there is the moronic hyperbole ROFL..........why is it that some people have this innate inability to comprehend that your 'absolute' right does not extend to violating the absolute rights of others? Or is that the little piece of wording that you need to exclaim 'see, it's not absolute'????

The most ironic part of this? Those 6,542 gunners probably claimed that they were carrying to keep themselves and others safe. Every one of them would have been safer if none of them had tried to carry a gun onto an airplane in the first place.

All those people in the boulder, colorado grocery store were safer because they didn't carry a gun? I bet you believe that had decent people been carrying, the death toll would have been astronomical, don't you?

What you're saying here is that you trust every single American. Unfortunately, America does have thousands of people who can NOT be trusted - murderers, terrorists, sociopaths, psychopaths, et al.

I wish that wasn't the way. But it's reality. "You don't trust your fellow Americans" is a platitude that is not rooted in common sense.

no. what i'm saying is that I trust every single American OVER that of every single government agent............Just like the founders...............government is necessary, but it's a necessary evil. There is almost zero accountability for them failing at their job.

I was in that King Soopers when that shooting started. You don't have any fucking idea what you're talking about. I also understand that you can't comprehend the difference between a supermarket and an airplane, but that's not my problem.

Since the beginning of flight, pilots were given a wide latitude of control over who flew, and what they could carry. Since the beginning of commercial flight, it was recommended that they take control over any guns on the plane. In 1958, the newly founded FAA turned that strong recommendation into a regulation, but it had been a regulation at most airports before that. In 1961, it became a law.

There has never been a time that you can take a gun onto a plane without the permission of the pilot, and pilots were never eager to give it to random people on large commercial planes.

Unconstitutional, and discard of history.

Gun free zones don't work. They cause a dangerous situation to develop.

Wow. You are nuttier than I thought. We have mass shootings in America almost daily. But you trust the people and not trained professionals. The founders? After the revolution, America disbanded its army. We were sitting ducks for the Brits to return, and they did burning down the Whitehouse in the War of 1812. The regulated militia thing is about a people's army to save the state from invasions.

I agree with that wholeheartedly. I think plane travel is the worst, most inconvenient, and least efficient way to transport people.

So you find it 'inconvenient' to be able to travel from one side the country to the other in a few hours.
You ARE strange.
