No, it’s not a sequel to “Snakes on a Plane.” Earlier this month a passenger with a gun boarded a plane to Japan. He was probably one of those people who routinely carry guns and just forgot he had it. He wasn’t a terrorist; in fact he later notified the flight crew. According to TSA officials, dozens of guns are confiscated every month, including many not only loaded, but with a bullet in the chamber.
Luckily the TSA officers were able to confiscate the guy’s water bottle. [OK, that last sentence is bogus; just me trying to be funny.]
I can’t say too much about a guy who forgets he had a gun. I was in line in Sacramento when I realized I had my pocket knife. The TSA guy said I could run back and try to put it in my suitcase, but I was not about to get out of line and probably miss my flight, so it was confiscated. The blade was at least an inch and a half long.
