TSA: 40 firearms found at checkpoints

[ECO]

As much as I don't care for the TSA agents giving me a hassle at the airports, after reading last weeks "at a glance" I'm really glad they are there to protect everyone! It's shocking to think that 40 dumbasses were caught with guns when everyone has known for years to leave them at home!

They should record the people when they catch them, I would love to watch the videos on youtube.

TSA Week at a Glance: 09/07/09 to 09/13/09

* 11 passengers were arrested after investigations of suspicious behavior or fraudulent travel documents
* 40 firearms found at checkpoints
* 6 artfully concealed prohibited items found at checkpoints
* 30 incidents that involved a checkpoint closure, terminal evacuation or sterile area breach

What's TSA?

Up until I read those stats on their site they were little Nazis that ruin your day before you get on the plane. Now they are the fine men and women that do a good job making sure my flight does not contain people with guns or explosives. (they are the people at the x-ray machines)

Yes, the same ones that make me take off my shoes and walk in the pile of germs that the 2000 people in front of me created.

The same ones that like to do "random searches" or "searches based on your booking pattern" when they see me.
