Instead of the brass or shells, I wonder what would have been the outcome if I had been carrying a handgun in a inside the waistband holster, left it in the truck as I should to be legal and then he would have detected the residue from it. It could have been really interesting about then. Or maybe I simply cleaned a firearm this morning before we left the house.
>>. I think the next time I go to the airport I will rub some old expended brass or shotgun shell hulls on my clothes and see what happens. :-)<<
You don’t want to do that. You probably won’t fly that day — and that is the BEST case scenario.
BTTT
I don’t fly anyway. Just there to see my son-in-law off to Afghanistan.

Wait — they let you through Security without a boarding pass?
Put a copy of the Periodic Chart in your back pocket and see what happens.
Since you were not flying, next time rub some W296 into your outer pants legs.
I had a similar situation happen in MSP 4 months ago.
I got the opinion they were looking for me to say anything as an excuse to arrest me.
Making a complaint to the TSA supervisor works much better than playing with their very small brains.
Carry a Koran under your arm and see what happens.
They did that for me when my 14 y/o son was flying alone. They needed my driver's license and gave me a gate pass. No TSA issues.
Opting out is a political expression that was formulated in Canada to describe the intention of a province to remove itself from a program administered by the federal government,
Good thing they don't check for mooning Mecca as I remove my shoes.
Canada has a 10th Amendment?
What would happen if I carried a DOJ authorized Gun Runner weapon?
“The TSA was not happy as I was radared with my “arthritic” hands in their resting state of having the center digit much more extended than the others. Supervisors and all. “
LOL. I usually don’t suffer from arthritis, but might feel a spell coming on when confronted by the TSA. ;)
The airlines issue family member gate passes to the service members family coming to greet them or see them off. All you need is to confirm he/she is on the flight and a valid ID. I guess my retired military ID tipped them off. :-)
You went further than I would. Don’t ever get closer to an airport than dropping off family, friend or coworkers.....
I can go in with my CHL up to the TSA fleece point but don’t ....done with commercial air if I can help it.
Funny....

That is a great program — I didn’t know they did that. Thanks for your service and please pass along my thanks to the S-I-L.
