U.S. Air Marshal Forgets Gun in Restroom Fri Apr 9,10:14 PM ET Add U.S. National -
CLEVELAND - A federal air marshal accidentally left her gun in a restroom at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, an airport spokeswoman said Friday.
A passenger found the semiautomatic handgun Thursday and notified an airport employee. The employee then told airport police, who secured the weapon, said the spokeswoman, Pat Smith.
"They later found it belonged to a federal air marshal who apparently was using the restroom and put it up on the shelf while she was washing her hands and forgot about it," Smith said.
Dave Adams, a spokesman for the federal Air Marshal Service, said the marshal, whose name was not released, probably would be suspended.
"The air marshal realized within five minutes that she had lost her weapon, went back to the police department and it was subsequently returned to her," Adams said. "Obviously, we are very concerned about the situation."
There were no delays or other disruptions at the airport.

Even more important, is she still on the payroll? If so, why? She has proven she is more of a danger than a safeguard.

I was about to say that at least he remembered to zip up his fly, but she didn't have one.

I always take off my shoes too when I wash my hands. Does the lady carry the pistol around in her hands all the time, or is it supposed to be out of sight?

The feds give this dumb broad a gun and won't arm pilots. I bet she didn't forget her lipstick. The inmates are in charge of the asylum.

This is something that Pepper never would have done. We need good girl cops . . .

This makes no sense at all. Why in the world would she have had to put it on a shelf to wash her hands?? I would have expected that she'd have had it in a holster or in her purse.

That's what I was wondering. Just because she washed her hands doesn't mean that she needs to extract her pistol and lay it on the counter. How do you go from having it holstered and secured to leaving it sitting next to the soap dispenser in an airport bathroom?

Only law enforcement should have guns.
