I’ve long known that TSA required pilots to place their sidearms in their
carry on except when on the plane itself. But I had no idea they went as
far as this video shows. Probably a miracle (and/or testament to the
professionalism and training of pilots) that we’ve not had a LOT more
unintentional discharges).
I note that Sky Marshalls walk right past airport security, bypassing metal
detectors and all, fully armed the entire time.

We know that guns don’t go off by themselves. Here’s a demonstration
of how the Transportation Stupidity Agency might have compelled the
recent accidental discharge in an airline cockpit.
When the government has spoken, no thinking has been done.
