Not even officers from Israeli security service Shin
Bet can escape the scourge of lost [and stolen] luggage it seems.
A bag belonging to agents travelling with Prime Minister Benjamin
Netanyahu was mistakenly put on a flight from New York to Los Angeles,
not to Washington. Alarmingly the bag contained four 9mm Glock
handguns, which are now missing…
The Israeli officers were accompanying Mr Netanyahu
to Washington for White House talks with President Barack Obama.
NBC News reported that the handguns had, in accordance with
security procedures at New York’s John F Kennedy airport, been placed
inside checked luggage. The luggage was then supposed to be put on a
connecting flight to Washington however, American Airlines workers at
the airport instead sent it right across the country to LAX in Los
Angeles.
By the time the luggage was located and recovered,
the guns had disappeared, and are presumed to have been stolen. [Dvorak]

During my years at FedEx, I learned the magic of the Diplomatic Pouch. Not to be stopped, opened, re-routed or delayed for any reason. Can't believe they were trying to schlep handguns thrrough plebian channels.
ReplyDeleteDamn. And why, pray tell, would bodyguards for the PM of Israel need to check their guns anyway?
ReplyDeleteIf all else failed, use the d.p., but it shouldn't have.
At least, four more illegal Glocks in LA won't even be noticeable.
ReplyDeleteNetan's bodygaurds hands are probably as lethal at close range as most islamo's shoulder fired weapons anyway
ReplyDeleteWhyinhell is Bibi flying commercial?

Mark: Israel is a little country that is at least trying to take care of their own business and not that of the rest of the world. They really have no need of the aeronautical metaphor of a big dick to show the world.
ReplyDeleteThe US government feels the need for such a thing.
