Imagine how this would have gone down had he “looked muslim” or had a middle-eastern name.
That’s what “they” want you to believe.
Farah? That sounds Arbic to me!
Fortunately he’s white, so there was no threat to anyone else.
Wait, so he’s charged with having a firearm in an airport terminal.
It seems to me that trying to smuggle a firearm onto an airplane would be something more serious.
You have it backwards, good sir. What I would ask, if you don’t mind, sir, is: what is that face doing on my thing?

Damn! I flew out of Dulles on Sunday and would have loved to see that go down.
Seems to me that the Terrorists (which are everywhere, and basically superhuman from the measures our nation has felt to take against them) should just send loads of guys to board planes with guns.
Busted? Class 1 misdemeanor.
Not busted? 200:1 kill ratio.
A class 1 misdemeanor…carrying a loaded gun in your carry on is class 1 misdemeanor…My god what a crazy world we live in…
an 18 year old kid getting caught smoking a joint in his car faces a harsher charge than that…In fact, I know a guy who caught his girlfreind screwing his best friend, after the fight with said best friend, he was charged with more than a class 1 misdemeanor…
This lowlife lying scum will probably get a 50 dollar fine suspended for carrying a fucking loaded gun on an airplane!..
NO-FLY LIST ! ! !
But seriously… who, in 2014, carries a .38?
The rallying cry of every idiot gun nut who ever lived to fondle his weapon.
“It’s not loa–BOOM!”
Ah, the rare right-wing publisher who actually believes a word of what goes out under his byline.
I’d congratulate him, if it weren’t for the part about loading a gun and then forgetting about it even though he was going to a place where he was guaranteed to be searched for weapons and arrested if any were found.
Well, it was Texas, after all…
Somebody who wants to sneak it in and get up close.
In Tex-Ass, all that’s required is to be black.
This will be the next main “Open Carry” push by the NRA – American citizens bringing loaded guns onto commercial airliners.
One time in Denver the TSA compelled me to remove my t-shirt in public at the security gate. I set off the metal detector because I have had a knee replacement. During the course of embarrassing me the kid (anyone under 40 is a kid to me) asked …could I please remove the metal in my knee so that he could see it wasn’t a weapon of some kind. I responded by lifting up my pant leg and showing him the 8 inch scar on my knee.
On another trip I was asked : why did I have a lift in my shoe? My answer: one leg’s shorter than the other.
Why?
I had polio as a kid.
The TSA agent responded thus: Why did I have polio?
I asked… could I please speak to your supervisor…
No, I have no love for the TSA. I understand they have a function to perform. Yet I still have no love of them.
“Gate rape”?!?! He wishes.
The real shocker?
The .38 was in a hollowed out copy of Hillary’s book…
Constant anger, fear, and paranoia can be distracting, so you easily might forget that your loaded .38 shouldn’t go into your carry-on.
What the Whirled Nuts guy did is a part of a disturbing pattern of more passengers trying to get a gun past the security checkpoint and then saying “Oh, I forgot I had that thing with me.”
The T.S.A. found 1,320 guns in 2011, 1,556 in 2012, 1,813 in 2013 — and has found roughly 900 so far in 2014.
