The person your referring to (I think ) was Sen. Donne Trotter, who tried to bring his carry gun onto a plane, with the excuse that he'd forgotten it was in his pocket.

What makes this particularly offensive is that his salary as a Senator is $65,000 plus additional pay depending on the committees he was on. This is not counting other benefits and "gifts" that may be given him. Why does a person making this kind of money need a $9 an hour security job? Oh i know, to have a card allowing him to carry a gun. I I'd let that pass except he doesn't want to extend the same right to the rest of us]
