What am I missing? You walk through the scanner and they don't stop you. Your purse comes out of the x-ray without being stopped. Isn't that when you're supposed to grab the purse and move out? If they had detected the gun in the purse, how would they let the purse come out of the x-ray without a staff member being very attached to it?

ADDED: Of course, the woman is just wrong for having it. But as many have lamented, "Why are they harassing old ladies?"
I don't think you're missing anything. I think TSA probably dropped the ball and is shifting blame to her.

Woman Gets Past TSA with Gun at DFW

A 65 year old woman somehow "got past" security and carried a .38 revolver onto a plane at DFW.

Personally, I think every passenger on a plane should be issued a gun upon boarding. No plane would ever get hijacked again.
