The FBI has a US Airways employee in custody for helping his roommate get a gun on a plane in Philadelphia Thursday.
Roshid Milledge, a customer service agent with US Airways, switched carry-on bags with his roommate Damien Young at the gate. Young's bag had an unloaded 9mm gun in it. Apparently, Young was moving to Phoenix and asked Milledge about the procedures for transporting guns. So, Milledge agreed to carry the bag through an employee entrance so it wouldn't be screened by security.
Someone noticed the switch-a-roo and told authorities. The person also noticed that Milledge looked "fidgety." Young was already on the plane when he was questioned by a US Airways employee about the situation. The plane was about to leave, but was called back, so Young could be apprehended.
Of course when the two were questioned, Milledge said he accidentally grabbed the wrong bag and was making the switch so he could get his.
So, the question is: who in their right mind would have the balls to try and carry a gun on a plane in this paranoid time?
