Where do you come up these "facts"? I've looked at over a year's worth of data that the TSA has posted every week and not one week reached 40, much less averaging 40.

And how many of these were terrorists intent on taking over a plane? I will give you a hint: the answer is less than one.
and since it was my thread that ND Sol references here are the numbers via a quick pen and paper addition from the beginning of the thread...

  • 68 weeks of data provided by the tsa from their own weekly updates on the tsa website
  • 1,456 firearms found at checkpoints
  • average is 21.41176470588 guns per week (with the highest number being 35)

so in this case, TSORon, i think your numbers are wrong and (to use your words) the proof is in the pudding provided by your employer (tho to be fair, the tsa could be lying in what they post on their website but the government doesn't lie now do they )
