I saw an article on this. It appears the majority of offenders claimed the ''forget" the gun was in their suitcase. They should be locked up either for lying or for stupidity.

MSG Stan Hutchison - I really have a hard time understanding how you can forget you are packing a loaded weapon, let alone an unloaded weapon. My dad always taught me to always know where the weapons were and always treat them as if they were loaded. Have we become so damned complacent about the dangers of firearms that they are treated more like a slicker you toss in the luggage just in case it rains? WTF?

Patricia Overmeyer in an effort to give benefit of the doubt: if you travel regularly, but almost never by plane chances are you're in the habit of your weapon being on your person or within arm's reach. It's quite the mental anomaly when you have to break a habit temporarily for something like traveling by plane. I've never bothered trying to take a gun on a commercial airplane, but then again they (airline workers especially) give me other problems with my normal carry-on.

I read it wrong and then read the article. I thought this was about them failing those red tests they get or whatever where people purposely try sneaking guns in. That they fail a lot.
