Soldiers returning from Afghanistan landed in Indianapolis recently and were subjected to the same ridiculous T.S.A. routines I encountered in Chicago. There was one small difference. They were carrying M4 carbine rifles, and M9 pistols, but no ammo. Apparently we don't trust our own soldiers from hijacking a plane and crashing into a building. One soldier was stopped, detained, and his nail clipper confiscated. There was concern that if the pilot had a hangnail, and the soldier grabbed it with his clipper he could force him to crash land. Dangerous weapons will be confiscated, the guns are okay.
