Soo many questions. Like why government official vacationing in CCP land. Will the Chinese lock him up? What life like for a US gov official in CCP jail?

Chinese authorities have arrested Washington state Sen. Jeff Wilson, a Republican, for arriving with a gun in his luggage at Hong Kong International Airport Friday night.

According to a statement on Wilson's website, the senator didn't realize he had his pistol in a carry-on bag, which made it through a security checkpoint at Portland International Airport before he transferred in San Francisco and finally arrived in Hong Kong.

"It was an honest mistake, and I expect the situation to be resolved shortly," he said.

Ho Lee Fuk. You have head up ass. You now in custody for very long time. You play basketball or otherwise sports celebrity? We negotiate now.

You now have the IQ of a WA state legislator. 95 maybe.

Story I read elsewhere a few days ago was that HK was a stop enroute somewhere in SE Asia for a five-week vacation.

It’d be interesting if his “unloaded revolver” was one of the HKPD-surplus Model 10s.

He also took a full responsibility, like any honest politician would, by blaming the TSA for failing to find the gun and thus letting him out of the country. Makes me wonder if TSA decided not to "find" it on purpose.

I’m certainly not going to defend any of the players, but TSA didn’t find a lot of stuff, even when they are nominally trying. Just saying.

So... was he packing an HK in HK?
