TSA Discharges Flight Attendant's .38

[ripnbst]

Not sure how I feel about this. I've got a .38 revolver, it is near impossible to fire it accidentally. Philly PD needs further firearms training apparently.

...as much as you need reading comprehension training LOL.

Just bustin' your chops. It was a police officer that had the ND, not TSA.

That is what I got. I don't think most TSA terminal personnel are authorized to handle weapons. Like unarmed security.


Ya know, that may be an oxymoron.

And if it was a Philly officer with less than about ten years on the department, I'm not surprised. She may well have never held a revolver. Philly went Glock years ago, IIRC.

TSA has a strict policy against handling firearms. It's a termination offense. Please edit your post to reflect correct information OP. Thanks!

She was unloading it.....one round at a time.
