One of my airport experiences:
TSA Agent to me: "Um, sir, there's a hammer in your bag."
Me: "Oh, crap, I forgot all about that."
TSA Agent: "I'm afraid we can't allow that on the plane, sir."
Me (smiling): "I was just trying to be helpful, should there be any emergency carpentry necessary on the flight."
TSA Agent: (smiling): "Yes sir, and I'm sure the airline appreciates that. However, I'm fairly certain that wood has been replaced with other materials on all commercial flights about 100 years ago."
Me: "Thanks for the heads up on that. I guess one of you folks gets to add to your tool collection today."
TSA Agent: "No sir, unfortunately, we aren't allowed to keep any of the confiscated items."
Me: "That's a shame. Shall we see if one of those people over their on the way out would like it?"
TSA Agent: "I'd like to sir, but we are trying to move people through here."
Me: "OK, well, I have a couple more of these at home."
TSA Agent: "A good place for them, sir."
I believe you're supposed to check your guns - if they are unloaded - at the desk and I believe that is what he did. His issue was that his gun was loaded.
People can talk about him being stupid all they want, but even as someone who doesn't own a gun the hysteria over this sort of bull**** is ridiculous.
The guy VOLUNTEERED that he had a gun. What was his master plan? Just another case where people apply the law instead of logic.
