ATLANTA - At least three people were injured at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport after a passenger's gun was discharged Saturday afternoon, the Transportation Security Administration confirmed.

Atlanta police said a gun was discharged near the airport's main security checkpoint. Passengers were directed to evacuate the airport and all departing flights were temporarily stopped.

Later in the afternoon, airport officials said there was no active shooter threat and airport passengers and employees were safe.

"As of the fiscal year 2020, the TSA operated on a budget of approximately $7.68 billion and employed over 47,000 Transportation Security Officers, Behaviour Detection Officers, Transportation Security Specialists, Federal Air Marshals, and other security personnel."

Note: They have yet to capture or neutralize a single terrorist. But they WILL sideline your Grandmother for having too large a tube of toothpaste in her luggage. So you can't say it's not working.

"(The TSA) has come under controversy throughout its history for the effectiveness of said procedures, as well as baggage theft, data security, and prejudicial treatment towards certain ethnic groups."

Yes, OF COURSE it's all about how we treat the ethnic groups. Mayor Bu++plug is gonna help with that, right?

A report I saw said that all the injured were from the evacuation after the shot and no one was injured by the bullet.

I fly no longer.

Driving is still largely uncontrolled by the various fascist governments.

It sounds like a TSA agent did an Alec Baldwin while inspecting a carry on at the airport checkpoint. Assume all guns are loaded and learn from Kyle. He kept his finger off the trigger until necessary.

In watching the videos of Mr Rittenhouse during the attack, I was really impressed with how he stayed cool and thought strategically in spite of the fact of multiple hostiles trying to kill him. He didn’t fire off a bunch of random shots. He hit his targets and nothing else. Even when he was being beaten and kicked, he didn’t fire any accidental shots.

The nearly-8-billion-dollar-a-year TSA, however....

I’m not ashamed to admit that had I been in Kyle’s position, I’d have emptied my weapon. The kid was amazing in his restraint and control.

The TSA are school crossing guards with too much power. Give someone a silly vest and a whistle and they have a big ego with a paycheck. They haven’t done sh#t to stop anything but control the public. I guess it’s a way to make a living.

Treat all hunters as if they are loaded. “Da thirty point buck”.

You can’t make this crap up. Sheeeeeshhh!

Did you hear him testify that the reason he stumbled and fell was because he was getting dizzy and felt like he was going to feint? And then he performed just as you described.

I’m impressed.

I flew for the first time in 35 years last month because I can no longer drive

I’m still waiting on dinner and drinks from the TSA agent that felt me up

The passenger grabbed the gun in the bag during the bag check. He never should have been able to do so. He fired the gun when his hand was in the bag. Probably by accident. He ran off after it happened.

I’m sure it was no picnic for them either. But, they have bills to pay too.

The second guy wasn’t near as thorough. Just a quick pat down

He knew I looked sickly when I got out of the wheelchair with my cane and could barely stand on the marks

Yes, I think some of them enjoy the power they have been given, even if they don’t particularly like groping sick old men

Did you see the video where someone knocked his hat off? That was where someone with a rock in their hand slammed it into Kyle’s head. Kyle stumbled down because it almost knocked him out.

I believe it all was a coordinated effort to kill him and take his rifle away from him. The gun shot into the air by Joshua Ziminsky I believe was a signal for the planned attack to take place.

“Crossing guards with too much power.” That pretty much sums it up. (To the tune of almost $8B a year!) And they “discriminate,” too - does that mean that they let moslems draped in many yards of cloth walk through without so much as a pat-down while a paraplegic is forced to strip in front of other passengers? Because, yeah: They discriminate.

It’s going to be a lot of fun watching Mr Rittenhouse destroy the media.

That is not what he said on the stand.
