      TSA confirmed to CBS News its officers missed the four rounds of hunting ammo in Watson's carry-on when he and his wife departed from Oklahoma City in April. A spokesperson for the agency told CBS News the TSA is addressing the oversight internally.

    so presumably they're also flying around domestically with improperly secured ammo? just so much ammo around that they forget they have it?

    maybe keep your ammo suitcase separate from your international travel suitcase

      Excuse me I'm a natural born American citizen which means I was born with the right to never think about anything, particularly not international travel.

    I'm sitting here on the other side of TSA, having submitted my hat, glasses and body to invasive scans... but motherfuckers out here throwing some undies and toothpaste in their range bags and breezing on through.

    Do Americans think they can do whatever they want whereever they want? What level of arrogance does it take to not check to see if you're not carrying anything illegal in the countries you're visiting? Do they think laws won't apply to them because they're American?

    unlimited enforcement of extremely normal laws on arrogant yankees qin-shi-huangdi-fireball

    just unimaginably irresponsible how can you possibly forget you have ammunition on you, if you can't keep track of that you shouldn't be trusted with the fucking firearm

      Irresponsible gun owners are basically the most privileged people in the US so they're not used to a reaction other than being coddled.

    Maybe I'm just poor but ammo is fucking expensive and if I lost a $10 bill I'd be flipping cushions and rummaging through pockets in the laundry hamper.
