That's why they have installed bullet-proof doors to the flight deck. To

here's the REAL reason there was an accidental discharge;
the TSA-designed and mandatory "secure holster".

It's a real no-no to put a trigger lock on a loaded gun.(guess why?)

yet it's TSA SOP.....

I would have thought that the TSA would require the gun/holster to be
secured in some sort of lock box. Slipping a gun into/out of a holster
is somewhat risky. Loading/unloading a gun (in order to safely apply a
trigger lock is as well.

One is better off removing and securing the entire gun/holster combo as
a unit.

Just lock up the leftist weenies in the back of the bus ?:-)
