Is this a TSA success story? I don't think so. It appears the man had no intention of using the firearms for anything nefarious or he would have 1) gone off (pulled his gun) in the airport or 2) attempted to hide the firearms.
Also note, according to other articles, the pat down where his holstered gun was found, was not required until the firearms were discovered in his carry on. Does this mean the gun he carried on his person wasn't found in the backscatter screening? The walk through metal detector would have beeped for a gun.
