Strictly hewing to the Republican Talking Points of the Day*, Rep. John Hostettler (R-Ind.) was
"breifly" detained by TSA personnel while attempting to board a US Air flight with a handgun in his briefcase. Way to take a bullet for the team, John!
Rep. Hostettler was en route to Washington, though rumors that he was planning a little "visit" to Commissioner Gorelick have been denied. He is scheduled to relate his experience on tonight's
Hannity & Colmes, and next Tuesday at the NRA's monthly regional meeting in Terre Haute.
