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.)

The weekly report for this week and next should be interesting. Reports says TSA is fast-tracking security lines so how many guns will they miss?
Thanksgiving week showed a dramatic drop in the number of guns found when TSA was also fast-tracking.
