This might work if the TSA was guaranteed to find 100% of all guns being attempted to be taken aboard aircraft. But that isn't the case. Some small percentage will sneak through. So, deterrence is a big part of this "security theater." There has to be a downside to being caught.This is the America I want
TSA Agent at scanner:
“Ma’am, this Colt 1911 cannot go into the cabin of the aircraft. Instead, TSA will secure it in our explosive lockbox in the luggage hold. When you get to your destination, report to the TSA office and your Colt 1911 property will be handed over to you.”
Considering the severity of airplane hijackings (which we saw on 9/11), this is not a matter to be taken lightly.
