The only guns (and other weapons) that have ever been detected and confiscated by TSA were the ones people accidentally left in their bags, like yours. But as you report, they don't even get all of those!
They run tests to try smuggling guns and knives onto the planes through these checkpoints. The rate of success -- that is FAILURE of security is well above 95^ every time.
Would poison gas pass as an arm as it is illegal in a militia setting unlike most weapons.
Not sure where you get this "militia setting" idea; are you referring to the fact that international "law" has banned poison gas? In general, the idea of the 2A was that the individuals should have the same capability as the army, because that's who they might have to fight in the next revolution. (And of course the usual deterrent effect is in play here.)
They had weapons at the time that might surprise you, including high rate of fire guns, and of course they had cannons and so forth. In any event is the principle of keeping up with the army.
They didn't have nuclear weapons, but those aren't commonly thought of as "arms". The scale of effect that is intended by the 2A rights is that of soldier versus citizen. An "arm" is something that can be wielded by a man or a group of men against each other. So, generally any kind of projectile weaponry that is aimed at individuals. Poison gas, nuclear weapons, biological or radiological devices, are not usually considered "arms" under this concept.
Whether a state government should have things like nuclear weapons is less a question of scale, and more a question of whether you think New York is going to nuke Kentucky to prevent succession. (The answer is "No" for a variety of reasons.)
It is easy to go back and read all about wha they were thinking. You don't have to take my or any else's word for it.
The main finding ot Heller was that the 2A describes an "individual right", not some kind of state-sponsored organizational right. The framers specifically said that the only individuals who might be excluded were "some Government officials". It's easy to go back and read what the intentions and meanings of the words were in their historical context. Including "shall not be infringed". Gun control is purely a modern invention, and most gun control rhetoric is simply nonsense.
The areas described here are both several city-block "town square" type of deals, bustling with pedestrians on small streets and sidewalks, with restaurants, shopping, movies, and (at the onewith the subway stop) also apartments. Street and garage parking, random double-parking and curb pickup. Traffic is normally about 10-15 MPH and is signed for 25 MPH; these two areas are about 2 miles from each other and are connected directly by a busy commuter highway that's supposed to be 35 MPH but the crazy drivers weave and swerve at 45 MPH when they can.
It's amazing that there are not more accidents, with people constantly running all over the streets and crazy/inattentive drivers; it will be interesting to see how the robots do.
It's seems you are playing devil's advocate here, but a lot of your reasons don't fly (ha!)
..they are needing to drive traffic to that destination for some reason.
Their problem, not mine.
Skipping out halfway through a connection can also cause increased costs for the airline having to track/reroute bags, etc.
If someone is planning to NOT take the last leg of a trip, I seriously doubt they are going to check baggage that they know will wind up at a different destination. Therefor, no bags to track/reroute.
And then of course in today's climate there's the security/safety angle as well.
How does a passenger NOT being on a plane make that plane less safe? Answer: It doesn't.
Say you bail on the last leg and the plane goes down. The airline still thinks you are on board (especially if it was a through flight with no equipment change).
An airline will know if you were or weren't on a plane. Between ticketing and security cameras, they aren't going to accidentally think you are on a plane when you are not.
If the government finds out you left the flight and there's an accident, you immediately become a target of suspicion.
That's so remote a possibility, I doubt anybody is going to worry about it.
The assumption is that the only reason NOT to be aboard for that leg is that the bomb in your checked bag, or maybe even the carry-on you left on the plane, is set to detonate while on that leg.
They aren't concerned about the passenger, per se. They are concerned when someone puts any bag on a plane but then doesn't want to fly with it.
Around the DC / Northern Virginia area, I occasionally see military drones flying at night.
(Yes, that's what they are. I'm an aircraft pilot and I know what I'm looking at.)
I've seen them at very low level flying above the road, and also flying around on military bases that are bisected by public highways. At first you think it's a helicopter until it gets close enough.
"Businessmen" trying to take over the world with high tech spying, secret underground bunkers, private space fleet launches, laser satellite networks... I never appreciated how those James Bond movies were predictions of the near future!
Researchers and civil rights advocates, for example, have repeatedly demonstrated that face recognition systems can fail spectacularly, particularly for dark-skinned individuals -- even mistaking members of Congress for convicted criminals.

No, it would be the park visitors that dont care about the environment, If you are visiting a park full well knowing the usual services are not available you would pack your trash back out with you rather then just dump it on the overflowing trashcan.
About the only thing that might be out of a visitors control is restroom facilities. If the facilities are not locked up, then any horrible condition they might be in is once again the cause of shitty visitors not doing their part to keep them as usable as possible with limited maintenance. helping to keep them usable could literally be as simple as people bringing their own roll of TP from home. Had every visitor brought their own roll and left it in a restroom there would probably be more rolls of TP than they could use in those restrooms for the next month.
What's more concerning is not the down-to-the-penny accounting of what happens to be the largest and most complex enterprise in the world, but rather the amount of physical assets that are unaccounted for. Items like "missing" warehouses of chemical warfare protection suits; you know, stuff you kinda might need at any moment.
But that aside, the lie was that Trump promised we would not pay for the wall, and now he is demanding that we do.
The fact that Trump lied about Mexico paying for the wall merely makes the irony all the sweeter.
Trump walked back the "Mexico will pay for it", I think even before he was elected (or maybe it was right after). He clarified that the cost would be offset by the increase in revenue to businesses in the US, due to his better trade deals. However, most people were probably not paying attention at that point, or didn't care, and the big picture message "Mexico will pay*" was said a lot. Without the asterisk:) But at least 50% of the country doesn't care who pays for it in any event, they just want the wall. They expect some physical barrier along with sophisticated electronics and stuff. Whatever makes it work. Physical barriers are considered (by these people) to be part of what works. And the $5B is understood to be just a beginning.
Congress is intent on not allowing Trump to keep a campaign promise, regardless of anything else. The leading House Democrats voted for walls before - that's how we got the partial wall that's already there. And $5B is (unfortunately) pocket change. It's all politics.
Never before have I seen the federal government tempt fate in national parks the way we are today," says Diane Regas
She's been an activist in this area for a long time, so it is surprising that she did not notice the previous long shutdowns. Jimmy Carter shut it down three times (11, 12, and 18 days). Bill Clinton shut it down for 21 days (also 5 days), and Barack Obama shut it down for 16 days, So far, Trump's shutdown is tied with Obama, but Clinton's was the longest.

I just find it hilarious to watch you Americans bitch about a paltry $5B border wall, but look the other way when an audit of the Pentagon
In fact, the VERY FIRST comprehensive audit of the DOD ever attempted.

The most feces and urine all over the station, in the train cars, and on the seats?
And how much do you have to walk through when you get off the train?
Don't worry. AI and autonomous driving and quantum computing are right around the corner. That will fix all these issues.
No, because then the malware writers will 3D print their virus!
