Did anybody bother to read the article? It said the pilot was following the rules to secure his handgun before he left the cockpit. This consisted of trying to insert a padlock through a hole in the holster to secure it through the triggerguard, one assumes behind the trigger.

Assuming he is telling the truth, the TSA rules would seem unsafe at best.
