| Airlines losing weapons authorized to pilots |
| 2004-03-05 |
| ‘ Gun-authorized pilots report weapons missing’ The Transportation Security Administration require these pilots ‘ to check their weapons with passenger luggage when they fly as a passenger between routes they’re scheduled to pilot..."In the last 60 days, we believe 300 weapons have been misplaced," said Dean Roberts of the Airline Pilots Security Alliance. "We don’t know where those weapons will end up."’ The TSA’s policy ‘"violates the original legislation passed by Congress that says pilots should not be separated from their weapons," said John Mazor of the Air Line Pilots Association. "The safest way to carry it is in a holster, on a person." ’ WTF !?*#$%! The TSA is AWOL from the WOT |

| #5 Pilots blame TSA policies that require them to check their weapons with passenger luggage when they fly as a passenger between routes they're scheduled to pilot. Haaahahahahahahahaa!!!!!!! To summarize the TSA's policy about this in one word: S-T-U-P-I-D. |

| #4 Oh, that's brilliant! Separate the guns from the most secure and reliable people (pilots) and run them through the least secure department (the baggage handlers) where damn near anybody with minimum clearance could get their hands on them. Lovely. Just lovely. |
