Did you even read the article? They are talking about cases where people are actually trying to hide the guns in their luggage which are on the rise. Sorry, the increase in found guns can't be explained merely by people "forgetting" them. Everyone should be MORE aware of what they are bring to the airport these days. Right?

Do you realize it is perfectly legal to transport a firearm in your luggage?

You just check it at the counter, and they usually put a flag on the case to indicate it has been cleared (to make sure it's unloaded.)

I wonder how many of these are simply pieces where the flag was ripped off via the luggage transport system.

Do you realize your reply has nothing to do with my comment? I don't believe most of these people were ever going to check their guns at the counter as in they are NOT "forgetting".
