[BC] Omaha Detonates Ham Gear

My favorite TSA/security story.

A month or two after 9/11 I was in the process of moving from Barrow to 
Anchorage.  I am a firearms collector and instructor and was moving my 
collection to Anchorage five firearms at a time which was the limit of 
Alaska Airlines.  The terminal was full of tourists and locals.  When 
the National Guard guys on duty---this was before TSA took over, looked 
at my four pistols and my Ruger #1 tropical in ,375 H&H.  They got 
handed around and commented on.  When I was walking across the tarmac in 
Anchorage I heard two women who had seats in back of me.  "Mildred, I 
feel really secure now.  That nice man in front of us must be a sky 
marshall, and he has FIVE guns".  Of course she did not realize that 
they were all in the baggage compartment.
