Definiltey stupid, but if you make it thru security, it's best to shut up. get out and not do it again.
Exactly. The fact that being honest has earned him an arrest record speaks volumes to your statement. He should have shut his trap, exited the so-called secure area, and either put the gun in his car or taken it home (assuming he's local).

Passenger Rob Padgett said, “Their security is tight, it's tighter than it's ever been, so whatever the number of incidents is, it's not many, so, I trust it and I feel safe.”
Yessir, Mr. Padgett, I feel a LOT safer that my water is confiscated but guns make it through.
