Matt Brandon, secretary-treasurer of the Service Employees International Union Local 73, which represents the aviation police officers, said he doesn’t understand why the officers are prohibited from carrying guns.

He said the union has been unable to get the aviation department to change the no gun policy, which dates to the early 1990s.

If I understood correctly, Chicago itself provides armed police officers in numbers comparable to other airports (I believe they used Atlanta and LA for comparison, as those three are the largest).

It’s my understanding that the union in question, SEIU or whatever, wants their members to be armed for their own safety. It’s the civilian authorities at fault here.

The rest of the world and there are soldiers toting automatic weapons. Americans are such ninnies.

The good people of the United States better wake up. I was just in a large city with hubby and kids. What do we see? Homosexuals walking around, openly flaunting perversion. Muslims everywhere, the women had everything covered up but their eyes. Where can you go to get away from this destruction of our once great country? It’s unbelievably sad...and horrifying at the same time.

This isn’t going to end well, for a lot of people, especially the homos. They will be the first to go when Muslims take over. How is the general population missing that?

Are TSA agents armed? If not, who is?

Probably not concerned citizens.
Afterall, it's illegal in ChiTown.

After they run and hide they can call 911 just like the rest of citizens in Chicago....the real police will be there to count the bodies within the police contract specified time.

Run and hide?
Very strange.

Not at all.
It's Obama's way; his legacy.

Defeat terrorism by running; The dope-smoking Kenyan way...
