More TSA "stuff" - Page 3

I'm arguing cuz you said you fly directly into a combat zone on a civilian airliner. You don't.

You got me on the weapons thing though. I still don't see the point, if you're just going home. Seems like they could be shipped separately. Now, going the other way, TO theatre, makes more sense, since you would need them as soon as you arrived. But what do I know.

We are talking about TSA. This point doesn't even matter. Quit being silly. It's a military tradition to always have your weapon on you in a combat zone and Kuwait is still considered a sensitive area and only in the last few years was it changed. It was considered part of the combat zone for many years.. They still received combat pay there.

As soon as you get to kuwait you head to the ranges and practices shooting and other combat drills.

Well I guess I got owned. But are we just talking about civilian airliners, leased by the military, or ones that are flying regularly-scheduled commercial routes WITH civilians on them?

I've seen troops bringing their packs onboard of course, but I didn't know they had weapons as well.

Why not check them? Civilians have to check their firearms.

That seems like overkill. If the government is getting the plane for hire, why couldnt they just fly to the closest civ airport to the base???
