For crying out loud...TSA can't even design a decent holster! Couldn't the agency have purchased any of the thousands of tried and true holsters already out in the market today??? And these clowns want to manage my family's health care???

NO THANKS!

It's not really the holster, it's the TSA's insistance on punching a hole in the holster for a padlock, and the hole is place so the padlock hasp fits behind the trigger. If the weapon is pulled slightly out of the holster then the padlock applied, when the pilot pushes the weapon back fully into the holster the hasp presses the trigger!

I don't see why the weapon needs to be locked away at all. What's wrong with either a shoulder holster or just leaving the weapon in the cockpit when the officer leaves?

Given the fact that the copilot could run the whole darn aircraft into the ground, I don't think his unauthorized access to a Glock is going to make a huge difference.
