#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.

#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.
