So the ultra liberal district attorney for ultra liberal San Francisco has a concealed carry permit and carries while flying on commercial airliners. This is one of the same ultra liberals who want to and are in California taking away your rights to own a firearm.

This is a slam dunk in the Federal courts.Of course the 9th Circus will rule against him but SCOTUS will rule 9-0 in his favor.

Cops cannot simply "flash a badge" and take a gun on a plane. They need to be certified by their department that a firearm is necessary on the plane for that specific trip, and the officer must have completed TSA aircraft firearm training.

Didn’t he have to go through TSA screening? Even I have to and I carry a gun (FFDO)

Not against the law if you have a letter from the department saying it is necessary for you to carry on the airline.
As he was head of the department, he could have issued a letter for himself.
Totally legal.
If a subordinate tried to get his boss in trouble for a legal activity, as well as put him in danger by revealing he usually carried, the subordinate may well have been legally fired.

At one time in this country, postal carriers (air) were required to carry firearms while on duty.
