The number of guns found by TSA officers last year was the highest annual total for the agency since it was created in the wake of the 9/11 terror attacks.
One time I had a giant Costco-sized thing of Tums in my bag and they brought out the drug sniffing dog and the science kit to take one - from the still unopened bottle - and test it.
It was a minor annoyance, but I couldn’t imagine packing to go to the airport and not making sure I don’t have a loaded gun on me first. That would be the first step, before ID or whatever.

TSA does not own any drug sniffing dogs. All of their dogs are trained solely for the detection of explosives. The TSA is very open about the fact they are not looking drugs.
Huh….well I assumed drugs. Interesting!
