George Bush’s Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is a farce. The idea that Uncle Sam’s blue shirted shock troops could prevent anyone, ever, from getting any kind of weapon on board a commercial aircraft is dangerously naive. As the stats (that we know about) and anecdotes (that we know about) reveal. The idea that the TSA should even try to create an airborne gun-free zone is similarly absurd. The 2,977 victims of 9/11 should have been sufficient to establish the need maintain our Second Amendment rights aboard aircraft. The Congressman’s call for better training for TSA gropers is a great landing at the wrong airport. Can we ever un-ring the TSA’s bloated bell? No harm trying.
