I agree, I don't understand this passing around the box game. although a .40 cal pistol is a lot to carry in an underarm holster,(I've done it) compared to say a sm/med frame S&W revolver and a hip holster is awkward to access if you are sitting down in a five point restraint. Maybe TSA needs to rethink the choice of weapon, a small frame .38plus or a .357 in an ankle holster would be handy without all the handling, and since some S&W revolvers's are double action only the chance of accidental firing is reduced. Plus the new S&W's have titanium frames making them much lighter to carry.
