French Bodyguard forgot to report that he had a gun when he went through security and they didn't catch it...

When I took a group of students to Canada one of them was able to board the plane from Korea with a boxcutter knife in her pencil case. It was discovered by security at Narita where we had a lay-over when we were clearing security to get on our connecting flight to Canada. That incident is probably indicative of the general competence of security in this country. I do hope Korea never becomes a target for serious terrorists. If an angry old drunk can burn down National Treasure #1 I'd hate to see what some well-trained malevolent people could do.

This is brilliant. Imagine saying some excuse about an accident on the road. "I am sorry I ran a red light and hit you but my brakes weren't working properly somehow."

Um, this has happened in America, Canada, and the UK on more than one occasion.
The latest...

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A passenger who went through an airport security checkpoint -- before remembering that he had a loaded gun -- is facing charges after going back to report his error, authorities said.


Travelers go through security at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport.

Gregory Scott Hinkle, 53, of Davis, West Virginia, went through a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport about 7:30 a.m. Sunday, an airport spokeswoman said.

Besides the Kim family South Korea hasn't pissed anyone off except their own people.

this is odd, b/c I remember the entry security at 3am being a pain in the ass. I had to take apart my clothes and whatnot.
