the secret is that your allowed to have guns in the air, but they can restrict you from taking them through the airport. if you sneak on the airplane with a firearm but don't get caught in the airport then they have to let you keep it

Fun fact, check plant boxes around airports. People forget they have a knife or their gun on them. They tend to bury them in the planter boxes.

its true, and the reason for banning knives and liquid is probably not what you'd expect: trade unions and anti-competition. knives are classified as tools, so the air mechanics don't want you to bring them on board, and liquids are banned because they don't want to compete on price with liquids you bring from home

In Georgia (and consequently, in the busiest airport in the US, Hartsfield-Jackson International) it is legal to have your firearm on your person if you are not going through security. Occasionally idiot assholes will open carry large rifles to make an idiot rear end in a top hat point about muh gun rights.

They also changed the law in 2014 so you don't get arrested for trying to get your gun through security anymore https://www.ajc.com/business/airport-prepares-for-new-gun-law/P0XVvY9dcB5HroHW00HfRO/ so that's a thing

I imagine these stickers are in place to notify people that Idaho is marginally less loving stupid than Georgia.

You know how they do mid-air refueling? They should do that but for guns. Really disrupt the status quo...

I suppose tying your little friends to a balloon might work too, but matching that delta v might prove difficult.

Two random oxygen masks are replaced with guns, adding an additional level of urgency to "place your mask on before assisting others."

Trust me dude, the guy fixing the airplane doesn't give a poo poo what you carry on board as long as it doesn't cause the jet to come home broke dick.

What you're probably thinking of is that employee unions for the airlines (specifically the Flight Attendants Union) had them banned because someone carrying knives into a confined space you can't escape from filled with booze and angry travelers is a really bad idea.

I mean, that's the excuse they give you as far as drinking on board ("so they can control how much you drink/make sure you're not over-served") but I have never been stopped from 1. drinking an obscene amount in airport bars or 2. ordering like 6 minis in a two hour flight. It's definitely so the airliner can charge you $8 for a $1.99 50mL Woodford Reserve.

It was fine and I'm glad they didn't cut me off but lol at the idea they were concerned about over-serving me.

hmm, ok interesting, its not a bad idea, but an even better idea is to have a contest to see who can get a firearm all the way through security and the first person who gets one through undetected wins $3920

the denver airport is really doubling down on their conspiracy poo poo as their whole marketing thing and i think boise needs something with real Pop and Spark to stay competitive in the mountain time zone airport vertical

During my time in the Austrian army I had to drag this 4,45 kg piece of ancient technology around, plus one mag on the rifle and 4 spare ones in pouches. Plus constant drills and getting chewed out if I didn't carry, clean or store it properly. And woe upon any private who violated shooting range safety.

Makes you wonder if universal conscription Euro-style, would actually improve gun safety in the US. Safety, regulations and proper maintenance were drilled so hard into us that even now, 20 years later, I could strip down and clean the StG58 in the dark and the service teaches you a lot of respect for weapons in general.

Friend of mine I flew with started drinking as soon as we arrived at the airport as he wanted to test how far he can get before someone stops him.
I had to half-carry him in the plane and one stewardess even helped me with it and they happily continued serving poo poo in the air.

Downside was that his company denied paying for it afterwards, as they only agreed to "regular amounts of consumption".

Lol why would you ever try to expense something like that, his poo poo is going to get combed over on every report for the rest of his career.

You put your first drink and food on one tab, your other 5 on a separate tab. Charge the minis on the flight to your credit card that has the $100-250 annual airline incidentals bonus. Everyone knows this.

As a matter of fact later that year he basically did the same in a hotel, drinking like $400 worth of alcohol in two days and since then they happily paid everything for him, no matter the cost.

I wouldn't rule out that his bosses are as talented as the airline workers at this point.

Not sure if he's an alcoholic by now though, been a while.
