Will be interesting to see whether she is considered a terrorist or not, you know, as those who try to commit acts of terror in aircraft are called.

Probably shouldn't forward this to my friend flying AA for this time this weekend, who is also flying through ORD!

I am sure the reason will be she "just forgot it was in there".

If someone is too stupid to remember where they put their gun, they don't deserve to own one.

In general, I don't think people try and bring guns onto planes (or into any non-law enforcement work setting) because they are extra super happy.

Not sure about that; I think most of the people who pull that have some kind of valid gun permit (albeit sometimes in another state). Someone who doesn't, in my opinion, more likely acquired it through illegal means with a specific purpose of doing harm.

Can you imagine what all the TSA agents do when something like this happens. Like ants on jelly bread,

Maybe she was tired of passengers taking too long to load the overhead bins and name-calling wasn't working out for her.

Looks like everyone below her will be moving up a number on the Seniority List.
