The stats (most recent I could find) say that in 2010 631,939,829 people flew, domestic only. That's over 1.7 million per day. You really think there aren't an average of 6 incredibly stupid people flying every day?
When you look at the numbers of actual passengers flying on a daily basis (and again, those are numbers from 2010 and are domestic only) it doesn't seem so incredible to me.
What you are stating tho is that all 6 get caught.
Just for fun let's say that they never catch all the guns at the airports because of course they would never catch them all. Let's say 1 out of 100 just for numbers sake. That's 600 guns going thru check in baggage every DAY.
Numbers are just for fun but if they say they catch 6 how many are they NOT catching?
I still say this is just propaganda. Like the FBI setting up bombers then "catching them."
Peace
Not just guns.
I have to agree with you. There is a reason the information is being peddled. I'm not suggesting that they don't catch people, or that people bring guns (purposely or accidentally) to the airport.
An unloaded cannon barrel was discovered with a passenger’s checked items at the Kahului Airport (OGG).
Many other odd items were discovered last year. Here are a few of the standouts: octagonal sais, a batarang, another batarang, three spear guns, a bang stick, a whip, a fly grenade, a burning book, a mallet, shukos, giant scissors, bear mace, a grenade-shaped vaping device, a gun knife, a novelty bomb, an inert firework display and a knuckle stunner.

If they said that they were found in checked luggage or even on their body...ok, maybe. But carry on? C'mon, you can't really believe this. Right when you go through, take off your shoes, get raped and have your bags scanned?
