TSA agent accidentally takes gun to work
A Transportation Security Administration employee at Memphis International Airport was arrested by airport police Wednesday after he was accused of carrying a handgun into the main terminal building.
The gun was found during a security check at the terminal’s “A” concourse in a bag belonging to TSA employee Richard Banks III. He told airport police that he forgot the handgun, a 9mm Glock 17, was in the bag.

Key sentence from the article: “..Banks was issued a misdemeanor citation for unlawful possession of a weapon in lieu of being held in custody.”

Except he’s an ONLY ONE, so what comes around for him, will probably get much reduced, if not dismissed completely.
