How disturbing

It amazes me that newspapers continue to report the stupidest things in an attempt to sell their papers. For example:

OMFG..Did you know it's still legal in most American airports to carry a firearm through the airport, just not through the security checkpoint? Well, f-ing duh !!

Did you know, you idiotic reporter, that owning and "bearing" a firearm are not only legal in the U.S., it is guaranteed by the Bill of Rights, like the right of the press to spew crap?

At least the police officer interviewed used common sense, ""t's really not more of a concern than at a mall or a train station," said Philadelphia police Lt. Louis Liberati."

"Jon Allen, a spokesman for the federal Transportation Security Administration, said the TSA has not taken a position on guns in airports and has no authority under federal law to ban them." While, Mr. Allen is 100% correct on this, it still strikes me as off that under federal law they can ban a 10 ounce beverage but not a 6 ounce one... Who knows?

Seems to me, the people who are carrying in airports are a sure sign deterrent for the bad guys not to screw around in this airport.
