Dollars to donuts the pilot was playing with it. Weapons don’t “accidently” discharge without someone pulling a trigger. In all my years of being around weapons I have never had one discharge without some input from me.

Unless it ws a Glock shoved into a flight bag without being in a holster. The “safety” is on the trigger and it can go off without being handled. Something presses on the trigger and *BANG*.

Maybe it was uncomfortable and he was moving it and reholstering it.

Can't go into it, but suffice it to say, there is actually an extremely good reason for this. I am not sure what happened, but the possibility of AD is a part of the classified process, without anyone "pulling the trigger."
For the record, this group of LEOs have the lowest number ADs of any Federal Law Enforcement group - in fact, it isn't even close.

You haven’t heard the TSA’s insane locking/unlocking procedures, of which I can’t tell you about.
I can say, it would be seen as stupid by any firearms instructor. And this pilot was likely just following that procedure.
You can do a google search for FFDO holster on the webb.
