It's a huge deal when a passenger brings a gun through a checkpoint but apparently not such a big deal when a TSA employee does it:
“The individual reported for work, and as is standard procedure went through security screening, where a firearm was detected,” said McCarthy. “The firearm was located in a sort of ‘lunchpail,’ where the individual had packed a meal in a sort of backpack.”...“No charges were brought against the individual,” said McCarthy. “As far as we can determine, there was no harm intended.”
McCarthy said he could not comment on whether the individual faces any disciplinary actions or fines as a result of the incident.
'Spose this will be reported on the weekly roundup of guns found at checkpoints?
