What Sucks: Absent Mindedly Taking The Star Magazine You Already Read And Leaving Behind The Ammo Clip You Actually Needed

A loaded clip of ammunition from a Glock pistol was left behind in a seat-back pocket on a flight from Santo Domingo to New York:

The bullets were discovered in a seat-back pocket at about 10:30 p.m. Jan. 29 by a worker cleaning the jet after its flight from Santo Domingo, authorities said yesterday.

The plane, which had arrived at Kennedy about two hours earlier, also visited Miami and San Juan, Puerto Rico, that day.

But because the jet had been cleaned on its last stop in Santo Domingo, detectives are checking over the manifest from that flight, said a Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman.

Twenty-six 9mm bullets were loaded into the clip, which a law-enforcement source said was from a Glock pistol.

Glocks are widely used in law enforcement, but investigators don’t believe the clip belonged to a sky marshal or other law officer, said a source.

Officials weren’t sure on what kind of plane the bullets were found. American usually flies the route with Airbus A300s, which can carry 267 passengers.

The clip was found in a window seat on the right side of the jet, over the wing, said the law-enforcement source.

“This is a serious breach of security,” the source said. “If they can get the bullets on, they can get the gun on, too.”

Not like you’re stating the obvious there . . .
