That is Honor, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.
Taking a loaded firearm into an airport checkpoint is a crime (late to the party, as others have covered this).
My S&W Models 15 and 19, both with exposed hammers need to be decocked before the cylinder will open. It isn't comfortable, but when I need to, I point the revolver in a safe direction with my finger off the trigger. I put my little (pinkey) finger just under the firing pin, then place my finger on the trigger and ride the hammer forward with my thumb on the hammer. Once the hammer has moved about half way, I remove my little finger and ride the hammer the rest of the way down with my thumb. It takes some practice, and for those not used to revolvers, it can make you nervous the first few times. Anyone who would like to practice, PM me and I'm sure we can work something out at an appropriate range facility.
Be safe.

Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

Sounds like she forgot...just like other people have done, some have made it through security and turned themselves in later, the other you never heard about because they didn't say shit!
As to the officer, he fucked up. bottom line. Hopefully he can get "re-training" and not lose his job since no one was hurt. Hopefully the flight attendant can keep her job, maybe lose her permit for a short time if they need to "discipline" her but hopefully she can get it back. mistakes happen, everyone has made them. If it weren't for the TSA, people living in fear all the time, etc etc, this would be an non issue as people carry guns on our trains, roads, cars, malls, etc etc etc all over the place every day.

1" from the John Thomas for every promotion. To get promoted faster, you also have to have three vertebrae removed with each promotion. To compete in the high pressure world of politics you must irradiate your brain cells. By the time you get to the top, you are brainless, spineless, and... well yes d***less.
I thought this was required in every department.![]()
Can you carry on a train, or just in checked luggage?
