That said, I continue to believe that the weekly posts are complete fabrications.

I'd like to see these alleged numbers broken down by airport. Are most of these weapons found at larger airports? How many are found at small, regional airports?

Pointing out an alleged 'all time record' suggests to me that Chertoff and company must have some expensive piece of gear in the pipeline to combat this shocking fabricated increase.

I am certain that I am not the only one. It just takes forgetting once. With the 1000's of CWP's I am surprised it does not happen more often. And then I think. CWP holders are among the most conscientious of firearms owners, knowledgeable of the law and their responsibility for the weapon. I would guess that only LEO's might be more responsible.
