TSA Incompetence

I travel with my pistol and I have a proper gun case and the required TSA locks. Federal law mandates that you declare your firearm at check-in, then a TSA agent checks it out and then it is checked in your luggage. In my lateness and rush I forgot to declare my pistol. Turns out it doesn't matter because they didn't catch it in their screening. It was obviously a firearm and it was at the top of my bag, but it still wasn't caught. It could have very well a been bomb in a terrorists luggage. I hope TSA searching Grandma makes you feel safer, because to me it looks like they don't know what they are doing. When are we going to stop turning over our personal sovereignty over to the federal government in exchange for security, when it's obvious we'll get neither?

Merry Christmas!
