The man in his late 40s flashed a badge, said he was a Department of Homeland Security agent, and filled out a flying-while-armed form at the airline ticket counter at Logan International Airport. Then he bypassed security and boarded a plane to San Diego.

And in a quasi related story hundreds of “units” of Mexicos main export (poverty), crossed the Rio Grand in the last hour with backpacks filled with God knows what.

I’m actually stunned we havent been hit since 911.

It’s no wonder newspapers are crashing. They take 2 years to report a story. What the hell good is it to get all worked up about something that happened 2 years ago?

Rather than being a pistol-packing law officer, Grant was actually director of sales for a medical supply company based in Rockland and was on a business trip

Huh? Since when do medical supply sales directors pull pointless and obviously illegal stunts that could and SHOULD land them in prison? And WHY THE HE## is this guy getting off with nothing but 2 years probation?? He did this TWICE, and the second time he accepted pilots' invitation to enter the cockpit armed!!!

This guy was no more a "medical supply sales director" than he was a DHS agent.
