. . . in all four terminals at Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood Airport, not just Terminal 2, where the guy who murdered five people was, according to numerous eye witnesses, as reported today on the front page of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel. (The link doesn’t work; I’ll probably have to wait till tomorrow’s paper is out).
I’m so disillusioned about how “secure” Homeland “Security” has made the airports. I thought that, for sure, we’re perfectly safe after having my toothpaste (five ounces instead of the legal three ounces), razor blades, shaving cream (again, two ounces over the legal limit) confiscated and being groped by some big ugly guy after the titanium implant in my hip set off the buzzer in the “security” line. (Not all in one day, of course).
If this report is true, it will make the totalitarian gun confiscators very unhappy because the other shooters obviously just walked into the airport with guns and did not bother to check them in any luggage like the apprehended murderer did. There goes their case for outlawing the practice of checking your hunting rifle in your luggage before that hunting trip to Montana.
Meanwhile, Democrat state legislator Evan Jenne is leading the opposition to allowing concealed-carry permit holders to carry firearms in “unsecured” areas of Florida airports, as they can in 44 other states. He says it would lead to “chaos” — you know, like what happened when all those unarmed and defenseless people in the “gun-free zone” at the Fort Lauderdale airport were terrorized and gunned down by that deranged Iraq war veteran a couple of weeks ago. Only the government bureaucrats who failed to prevent the Fort Lauderdale Airport shooting should be allowed to carry guns, he says. (This joker is from Fort Lauderdale. I bet he’d have a different opinion if it was one of his loved ones who was publicly executed with a bullet to the head, as was the case with the five murder victims).
