Um, whoops!

Apparently an air marshal on a Southwest flight yesterday dropped the clip from his gun on the ground before a flight took off, so he removed himself from the flight.

As touchy as things are nowadays with airplane security, what do you say after that to the other passengers? "Dropped my bullets - my bad" probably isn't going to make anyone feel any better, is it?

I guess he removed himself from the flight because he was no longer traveling incognito, and I can see that. Makes it a little disturbing that there's no air marshal on that flight anymore, though. Not like they can sneak another guy on board after that guy leaves, either.

I would guess that takes some of the fun out of the "guess which lone passenger is the air marshal" game that you play on long flights.
