New From the Bad Ideas Dept: TSA Union wants to arm agents

[Aloha_Shooter]

I want to see properly trained police officers at the airport, preferably non-unionized ones but I don't see THAT happening. I hadn't realized just how much airports had disarmed ... and this over 10 years after 9/11 while we're still under threat from al Qaeda and their affiliates. We don't need more TSA agents or to train them with weapons, we need to make use of the organizations that already have firearm training programs.
