CHICAGO (Reuters) - A federal air marshal accidentally left her gun in a restroom beyond the security checkpoints at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport, officials say.

The weapon was discovered by a passenger who alerted an airline employee.

The marshal remained on the job after Thursday's incident when she visited an airport restroom and inadvertently left her gun behind, Dave Adams, spokesman for the Federal Air Marshal Service in Washington, said Saturday.

The restroom was beyond security checkpoints, airport spokeswoman Pat Smith said. So the risk was that someone could have discovered the gun and taken it on a flight.

3. One really has to wonder...

What the hell was she doing taking the gun out of her holster to wash her hands?

Don't they have holsters?

Or didn't she know how to use it?

Did she keep the gun in her knickers?

Dear God, where are they finding these people? I have an image of some school in the Ozarks filled with Bush by-blows from several generations of adulterous activities, who have mated with feral pigs and produced people like this Air Marshal.:crazy:
