Jim...

Don't get me wrong...I was only razzing the procedures...Not the people...Its a job, and not everyone does it totally right...

For future reference, should those of us who do fly, and go through this procedure, should we just take it, and go on??? Or if we notice something that doesn't look right, ask you if its a violation of procedure (like handling the weapon) and file a formal complaint??? etc etc...

I'm not looking to cause waves...But if their are people in the system who need to be instructed further in procedures, then I see that as a positive...

I hear you...

I save my stinks for things that really matter...I just think all of this is a procedural quirk that just makes me wonder about the "system"...

Thats all...

You know it'll happen when the next attack occurs...

Since the new norm is set in place...A recent discussion about printing out documentation, along with following Federal and airline policies regarding the "safe" storage and transportation of firearms on trips requiring flying on airlines...

This thought/observation/comment came to me...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something I have noticed, and have yet to really make a stink about...But why is it important to "scan" (through a detector) an encased firearm, that is not going to be in immediate posession of its owner in the cabin of the aircraft???

All this after the fact that it has been "examined" by ticket counter personnel (who state more often than not, that they don't know what they are looking at anyway)...But the TSA steps in and runs it through the detector anyway...

I mean I just sit back and kinda chuckle at the absurdity of it all...

What do ya'll think???
