    Whatever he says that his pistol is licenced,it requires also further permission to carry in flights too whether in his jacket or in baggage.Even in Baggage it can too harm during flight if not kept according to rules.And whole flight might go in fire ans ashes.

    He has carried a licensed pistol in the luggage (which was put in the luggage by his wife of which he was not aware...!!!!????). Being a politician just not to declare to the airport officials is not a big crime......!!!!!???? This is what is going to happen in this case.
