We have a problems by last week and it was 19 firearms went through at checkpoints! That not goods for the behaviors at all. They should have to learned more lessons to followed the specific rules at airports. The weapons is a prohibited at TSA checkpoints and they have to leave the guns at home and not to try take the guns at checkpoints. You will getting into trouble from TSA/LEO.

About 13.5 million domestic travellers pass through the system weekly.
That is based on 700 million domestic passengers annually.
You do the math.
7 out of 13,500,000
The TSA could build cardboard boxes and say they are scanners and get the same results. While saving a few billions $$

Again?!?!? Another 23 firearms went through at TSA checkpoints! This is not good enough at all. They doesn't have to follow the capable rules at airports. The firearms is prohibited at security checkpoints. He could be arrestable as charges with misdemeanors first-degree felons.

I would still like a little more info on the number of firearms TSA claims it found at checkpoints in the last week.
However, if the claims are true and if the number of people who travel per day is around 2 million that would be 14 million travelers in a weeks time and 22 firearms found.
Which works out to roughly .00000157142 guns found per traveler per week.
Would someone do the math and tell me just how much it costs guns/traveler for TSA to find each one.
