42 guns the week of Thanksgiving; 75 guns the week after and 70 guns the week before the holiday.

That says that TSA missed a large number of guns on Thanksgiving travelers. Too busy taking tubes of toothpaste, bottles of water and sexually assaulting passengers. (BTW, the TSA Blog [which apparently Bob manages from home] won't publish a comment with the phrase "sexually assaulting" included. I guess it considers such words to be unsupported accusations.)
