FOXDFW said:
Airport spokesman David Magana said a 65-year-old woman from Little Elm, Texas had a gun in her carry-on bag that got through the security checkpoint .

The security breach comes on the same day that the Homeland Security Department acknowledged that some TSA agents went too far by strip-searching two elderly women in New York.

This just continues to show that the TSA is not the great protector that the government makes out to be. The TSA can harrass old ladies but can't find a gun? At this point, I am not surprised.

...and the plane didn't explode? Didn't come crashing to the ground in a giant fireball? No one was shot? No punctured fuselage?

That's not possible. All those politicians promised me that it would happen if guns were allowed on planes, and that's why I want them banned!

I wonder if any folks interviewed by the media stated that they had no problem with a 65 year old lady with a gun on board....in fact, felt safer because of it.....naw...the media likely excluded that type of comment.
