Yeah, but he was allowed to take his gun with him

Anyone have a stat on the last time a passenger mistakenly carried a GUN on board a US flight, btw...?
I don't know if we have any accurate data on that. No person in their sane mind would admit they did, unless they did it on purpose.
However, see link.
or so it seems.
'The officer followed the proper protocols to get the gun on the plane and authorities were in the process of returning the misplaced clip to the officer, said Southwest spokeswoman Brandy King.'
I don't know if that means he was allowed to carry it on or had to check it... probably the latter since it's legal for anyone. But if he had to follow the same protocol as everyone else, the ammo shouldn't have gotten into the cabin, though.

So, people travelling in the US tomorrow: are you opting out?
