At least we now have some idea of what Senator Miller's mystery disability might be. He is status-post disfiguring lip-reconstruction surgery, and may additionally suffer from Slip-and-Fall Syndrome, a litigational disorder.

It's kinda unfair to your Joe-Shmo traveller who has a lot of things to remember so the gun in the carry-on is easy to forget. Plus it's just a gun -- not the kind of thing you'd keep in mind as you walk around. Maybe if the TSA would put up a sign or two about what's allowed.

Imagine the embarrassment if Mr. Miller had come upon a someone being assaulted or a terrorist, but did nothing because he FORGOT HE HAD A GUN. Golly but he'd be red-faced. Coulda been the hero, instead ends up the punch line.
