I'm late to the thread but... I had to fly out of DFW about a year ago (don't like to fly anymore) - did not pack a weapon. Checked in at AA counter, got the destination tag on my checked bag, and was told to take my bag down to the TSA screening station. I thought 'whaa' - but being the good little soldier I drug it down there. The guy that accepted it asked the usual questions, got to the gun question, and not only asked twice, he asked a third time if I was sure there was not a gun in the luggage. I said no - but then I put on the good 'ol boy act and jokingly asked why 'they had sent me down here for extra screening and what the concern was with me' (a 60 year old overweight, grey haired, cane using, way beyond average WB)? In a quiet voice he said "...because you were identified as a concealed handgun licensee." There is more going on in those computers than just spitting out seat assignments folks...
