Secret Service agent misplaces weapon on Romney plane (http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/2012/08/29/secret-service-agent-misplaces-weapon-on-romney-plane/)
A United States Secret Service agent traveling with Mitt Romney accidently left a firearm in the lavatory of his charter airplane Wednesday during a trip to Indianapolis.
The firearm was discovered by a reporter for CBS News/National Journal, who told a flight attendant about it, according to a story posted by CBS News. Romney was traveling from Tampa, Florida to Indianapolis, Indiana to deliver a speech.
Romney, who will formally accept the Republican presidential nomination Thursday, was seated in the front of the airplane that consisted of campaign aides, reporters and U.S. Secret Service agents.
"We are aware of the incident," Secret Service spokesman Ed Donovan said in a statement. "We take the care and custody of our equipment, especially firearms, very seriously. This matter will be dealt with internally and in an appropriate matter."
That is NOT going to look good on the ole performance report. :nope:
I can understand taking your gun off when in the can, especially in an aircraft. But how do you forget to put it back on? Especially when the gun probably took up 60% of the counter space in the head?
In the security world, this what is called a "bad thing". :nope:
