Netanyahu flew into JFK airport and the Glock’s of his security detail were stolen from their luggage. July 8, 2010 [http://www.shalomlife.com/eng/13240/Netanyahu%27s\_Guns\_Go\_Missing/](http://www.shalomlife.com/eng/13240/Netanyahu%27s_Guns_Go_Missing/) From the article: > [@](#): > > The investigation is now “priority No. 1 in American law-enforcement”, a Port Authority police official told The New York Post Thursday. “They (the Port Authority) have opened up the check books on this one,” said the official, adding that the FBI and Secret Service have also joined the probe. Since then I haven’t hear a word of follow-up. Anybody know? Editorial comment: Personally I think that the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey should be given a painful enema. There is no reason for this kind of stuff to happen yet it is all too common. What? You can’t have surveillance cameras in the luggage handling areas? Don’t know if this is GQ, GD or whatever. Mods move accordingly. ---

The article’s not very clear to me. It says the guns were put on the flight to Washington from JFK, but almost immediately says they were possibly stolen at JFK. Anyway, a piece of luggage with guns, etc. in it went missing, was found in LA and returned without being checked. Were the guns missing when it was finally opened, or is the luggage going missing for a day the story? ---

Were the guns missing when it was finally opened, or is the luggage going missing for a day the story? The story is totally weird. I’ve had trouble making sense of it. What prompted the OP was that I can’t find out any follow-up. The story seems to have dropped off the radar screen despite the contentions that, > [@](#): > > The investigation is now “priority No. 1 in American law-enforcement” My immediate concern is that a lot of theft goes on at JFK and little is done about it. I refuse to believe that the problem can’t be cleaned up. This particular incident seems to be particularly egregious. Yet, despite the fact that the victims were top security agents for one of the US’s closest allies the story seems to have disappeared. What the SD? ---
