Really? I've never really seen or heard anything to indicate one way or another. I know she doesn't like taking charges that aren't a surefire slam dunk, so perhaps oopsies just aren't good enough for her career

The officer who responded to me didn't even call the DA's office to see if they'd take charges. When he got there I handed him my CHL (I believe I said "I should probably show -you- this" -- and the TSA agents seemed a bit confused as to why they wouldn't have been shown something, but they were overall really great people), and since my DL was still tied up with TSA, he walked off and radioed me in. When he came back, he said since I didn't have any entries in TCIC or SETCIC, he was done with me and handed me back my CHL and he walked off. At that point TSA was done too and off I went still a nervous wreck.

On the bright side, every TSA agent I encountered (from the xray tech to the examiner to the supervisors) were all really nice people about it all. These specific guys certainly aren't the ones you hear horror stories about online.

I'm wondering if I'll get a nasty-gram from them.

Flight back was no issue. 'Course, it's the government, so I'll be added to the terror watch list in about 10-12 years.

In November (I think it was), I was sent to Wichita for business... I accidentally tried to bring a loaded magazine through the checkpoint (forgot it was in my bag). Never received a nastygram, but I was warned one might come. Too bad I didn't take my ammo back -- had I known my flight would be so delayed, I would have.
