This is scary on so many levels, I'm not sure what to say.

Man Trying to Board Flight With Loaded Gun Arrested at Southern California Airport

SANTA ANA, Calif. (AP) - A man arrested at an Orange County airport after he allegedly tried to board a flight with a knife and a loaded gun said he forgot the weapons were in his carry-on bag, authorities said Friday. A federal transportation inspector noticed the weapons during a routine X-ray check. A joint terrorism task force was investigating.

Ali Reza Khatami had a .38-caliber handgun and a six-inch knife with him Thursday when he attempted to catch a Chicago-bound plane from John Wayne Airport, sheriff's spokesman Jim Amormino said.

Khatami, 65, has a criminal record but authorities declined to provide details. The suspect was being held without bail.

And my quote of the day...

"He's not on any terrorist watch list or a person of interest - not until now."
