In 2019, the TSA apprehended some 4400 guns - but that was 5 guns for every 1 million passengers screened. The 4500 guns as of mid-October 2021 = 11 for every passenger screened. IE gun carrying by air travelers has doubled since before the pandemic. 5/x https://t.co/FwJsjVlmb6 — PolitiTweet.org

As of mid-October -well before the holiday flying season began - the TSA had apprehended 4500 weapons at airport check-ins, a 20-year record. But the statistic is even worse than it sounds, because air travel is still depressed from pre-pandemic peaks. 4/x — PolitiTweet.org

Whatever the true intentions of the Atlanta airport gun carrier, the United States has engineered a gun-law system that encourages people to carry guns everywhere they go. And indeed, if guns are welcome now at churches, schools, bars - why *not* a plane too? 3/x — PolitiTweet.org

The incident made national news, with a lot of emphasis on how "accidental" the whole incident was. Except, it isn't really all that accidental, is it? 2/x — PolitiTweet.org

A man tried to carry a gun aboard a plane. Detected, he lunged for the weapon and (apparently unintentionally) fired it. Three people were hurt. Injuries non-lethal, but who wants to suffer a bullet wound because some dumbass can't be separated from his security blanket? 1/x — PolitiTweet.org

Interesting profile of Rotterdam's remarkable mayor. Born in Morocco, he said after the Charlie Hebdo massacre of 2015: "If you do not like it here because some humorists you don’t like are making a newspaper, then, if I may say so, you can fuck off.” https://t.co/sOJ5kMn6IB — PolitiTweet.org
