My appologies Tripower a thought you were refering to the 'piece' as opposed to a complete weapon which I agree will pose far more issues and would seem to complicate the issue rather than be of reassurance.
Actually, I feel that the weapon itself is not the issue at all. It's the manner of carry and disposition with which the tsA has saddled the program.
I see little logic in vetting, training and authorizing a person to carry and be responsible for a firearm, then forcing that person to surrender the firearm to numerous untrained, un-vetted and unauthorized people, in the "secure" area.
It flies in the face of several centuries of law enforcement experience
