I only support candidates who are most likely to adhere to US constitution. However when it comes to boarding a flight with the family, we tolerate the inconvenience of search for weapons. There are too many crazy religious fanatics in this world. If a weapon gets on the plane, there is no escape to safety.
Heck, you can not even enter a federal building, a court of law, and other places without going through searches. A firearm on a plane is much more lethal than those places.
As I pointed out, the problems on planes SINCE 9/11 have been stopped by passengers stomping mud-holes into wanna-be disruptors. Not by the TSA.
Was one just recently, where the passengers 'subdued' a crazy that tried to open the outside door to an aircraft.
He survived. They do sometimes. Sometimes they don't.

Do you know what the juiciest terrorist target at the airport is besides an airliner full of hundreds of passengers? Its the queue of hundreds of passengers waiting to go through the security screening. Its odd those have never been attacked by those crazy religious fanatics.
