      This is not true either. My boss accidentally had a bullet in his bag. No gun or anything to actually use it and they held him and threatened to arrest him. He’s white btw.

        What’s wild here is I had 20 bullets in my backpack that I accidentally left in there, and they let me through, and through a connecting flight, and only caught them on the flight home, and made me throw them away. I am white which could have contributed to the “toss to enter” treatment, but I did technically fly with explosives in my carry on.

      It was definitely true in the Bush years. Less so now. That was a dumb time. Unlike now, which is dumb in new and unique ways.
