I'm ashamed to say it happened to me at Love Field. Never in my life have i felt like such a dumba$$. I had an early flight (5 AM) and so i stayed the night before in Dallas in a not-so-good area. I had my pistol in my truck and didn't want to leave it there overnight, so I put it in my carry-on bag when I went into the hotel. Fast forward to early in the morning and I'm half awake getting to the airport and completely forgot about it. It was caught at the security check and I was arrested on site by TSA and transported to Dallas county, where I spent the entire day waiting to get out on bond.
This was about 8 years ago. It cost ~$10k in fines from the TSA and legal fees to get the charges dropped and the felony arrest expunged off my record.
