How would they go back and check you're previous screenings? Granted it's been 2 years since I've flown, but even then, I just went through the metal detector. They didn't ask for ID or anything.
Lot's of people fly with checked firearms. I have, and other than taking an additional 5 minutes at the airport, it's not a difficult process.
if i was already on the plane i wouldent do anything
What - no option for videoing possession of said handgun on an airplane and posting to YouTube before you land?

No shit. "Excuse me flight attendant, I have a gun..."Same. The worst thing you could do is let somebody know. You're on the plane, just keep it hidden and your bag close to you.
So you forgot you had a handgun in your carry-on, and it wasn't detected. You get on your plane, sit down and decide to get your book out and discover the handgun in your carry on. Nobody else sees it. What do you do? :whiste:
I'd immediately switch religions to whatever particular God I'd prayed to that morning. Clearly, I'd have found the one true path to enlightenment. Then I'd start praying for snakes so I could be the hero who fended off the airborn reptilian menace with the handgun he'd accidentally smuggled aboard a domestic aircraft. Who doesn't want to be Samuel L. Jackson at some point in their life?
*clap*clap* Great job the TSA is doing! Gun gets through security and is in the airport for TWO HOURS before they resolve the issue. How many people could she have killed?
Your billions at work!
Last year my wife and I flew to Seattle. We packed a few presents. One of the presents was a shaving kit with a straight edge razor. The Security guy sort of hurried us through as there was a hot blonde wearing a tube top behind us. I really don't think he looked at us at all. Perhaps this is the way to smuggle things onto an aircraft, just hire yourself a hotty to stand behind you. Anyway, when we got on the plane we debated long about what to do? We decided it best to just say nothing. We also had a debate about whether or not to say anything afterwards. Again, we decided on silence. We didn't believe anything good could come from telling anyone.
So you can blow up a plane and just show diplomatic immunityA diplomatic bag is, by law, any old item that is identified as such and capable of holding stuff, be it a bag, box, satchel or the crusty sock from under the diplomat's bed. The idea behind the concept is as simple as it is prone for misuse: Anything and everything inside a diplomatic bag is untouchable by law enforcement. Basically, we're talking diplomatic immunity for inanimate objects.
And while most countries use their bags for boring stuff like classified files, some countries have noticed their potential and gotten creative. You can basically commit any crime you want, as long as said crime can be crammed inside a container designated as a diplomatic bag.
Well, in 1984 Nigeria took issue with a former minister of theirs, Umaro Dikko, who had moved to England. Dikko was a bit of a troublemaker, speaking out against the current government and criticizing them at every turn. Not being content with pissing off just one country, he was also in the habit of lashing out at Israel.
So, Nigeria and Israel decided to team up to bring Dikko back to Nigeria and shut him up.
Operation "Let's kidnap the shit out of this guy" was a great success, with Dikko yanked off the streets of London, drugged and taken to the airport by the joint Nigerian-Israeli squad. But how to get him in the plane?
Ha, easy! They would place Dikko in a wooden crate, tag it as a diplomatic bag and haul him off to Nigeria. No one can do anything even if the guy wakes up and starts banging the lid, because diplomagic. Mission accomplished!
Only someone had forgotten to fill out the proper paperwork for diplomatic baggage. So when Dikko did come to and the crate started moving around, the officials decided to take a peek.
Customs got Dikko out, and the kidnappers were arrested for almost managing to pull off a Batman villain scheme.
