The TSA wants armed guards at their
checkpoints. There will be a considerable expense: to hire,
background, train, and manage all these guards, to buy their
equipment, and to keep replacing all that ammunition. And every
dollar of this expense can be avoided. Let’s all stand up against
this total waste.
All we have to do is encourage states
to keep loosening their gun-carrying laws. Some states have recently
voted to allow people to carry their guns inside airports. We need
every state to pass such laws.
Then the TSA will simply ask for
volunteers. Who won’t want to spend time toting his gun at LAX or
EWR, or any fine airport? And what a deterrent they will be.
Terrorists will know that the moment
they are detected, bullets will fly from every direction. They will
have no cover, and their dying wish will be that they had chosen
instead, to rob a bank.
