U.S. Air Marshal Forgets Gun in Restroom

CLEVELAND (AP) - A federal air marshal accidentally left her gun in a restroom at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, an airport spokeswoman said Friday.

A passenger found the semiautomatic handgun Thursday and notified an airport employee. The employee then told airport police, who secured the weapon, said the spokeswoman, Pat Smith.

``They later found it belonged to a federal air marshal who apparently was using the restroom and put it up on the shelf while she was washing her hands and forgot about it,'' Smith said.

2. These Air Marshall applicants...

...we ARE screening them, aren't we? I mean, we are giving them guns and putting them on airplanes. Is it too much to ask that they remember to keep the guns with them?
