We've all experienced the hassle of lost baggage on flights. Well not even world leaders are exempt ... or at least their security details.It seems that some Glock semi-automatic guns got lost in transit when Prime Minister Netanyahu visited the States recently.Here's the story from today's Wall Street Journal:

Members of the prime minister's security team flew on Israeli airline El Al Sunday into John F. Kennedy airport in New York, in advance of Mr. Netanyahu's visit with President Barack Obama, according to officials with knowledge of the incident. After passing through customs, the Israeli security officers checked two hard carrying casesone containing four .40-caliber Glock handguns and the other containing three Glocksbefore boarding an American Airlines flight to Washington, the officials said.The officials said Transportation Security Administration agents made sure the security officers had permits for the weapons and affixed stickers to the cases indicating clearance for the guns and their transport. The TSA agents then forwarded the cases to American Airlines baggage handlers to be loaded onto the plane, according to the officials.The security officers arrived in Washington Sunday evening, but the case with the four guns didn't, the officials said. American Airlines personnel found the case, with its Washington destination tag still on it, at a Los Angeles Airport terminal at around 4 p.m. on Tuesday in L.A., about two hours after Messrs. Obama and Netanyahu met at the White House to discuss U.S.-Israel relations.

The locked casewhich wasn't checked by the American personnel who found it in L.A. to see if it still had the weaponswas put on an American flight to Chicago and then to Washington, the officials said. When the security officers opened the case, they discovered that the four Glocks were missing, the officials said.

The denouement is predictable:

American spokesman Tim Wagner declined to comment on what he called "a potential security incident." The TSA declined to comment, citing an ongoing investigation. Officials at the Israeli Embassy in Washington deferred comment to U.S. law-enforcement agencies investigating the incident and to American. A spokesman for the Port Authority police declined to comment.

Any comments?
