I kind of get it. People are stressed at airports already, and there is kind of a negative connection between guns and airports, and there’s no harm in covering them up.

I’ve always been surprised that physical monthly media is still being produced and printed.

There was a time when you couldn’t wear a shirt with a cartoon gun on it in an airport without some mouth breathing security guard raising a fuss.
Good. America is so backwards with violence and nudity in media.
Most people will never kill anyone, know anyone killed, see anyone killed, know someone who has killed someone, etc. but we see people killing each other thousands and thousands of times in popular media.
Yet we all have naked bodies, and most of us will have sex at some point, but all of that is super inappropriate.

Probably to stop the AI image recognition in all of the cameras from false positive identifying constantly.

I get it. I mean I like looking at gun stuff but I don’t need a “what the fuck is wrong with us?” moment everywhere I go.

People need to overcome their fear of firearms as badly as certain loony toons need to overcome their need to make guns their entire personality.

Do they still have a “Whacking Material” section? 😁

Someone reading a firearms magazine on an airplane is several orders of magnitude less weird than someone reading a porno magazine on an airplane.

3% of Americans own 50% of firearms. The other 25% who own one or more own the other 50%.

I wonder if it is a computer vision thing.
They surely have cameras in airports looking for things like guns.
Covering up the gun magazines may reduce the false positive rate.

That’s because in a civilized society violence would be more abhorrent than nudity.

What’s the rationale here? Do they think someone will see a gun magazine then suddenly right there just decide “that’s it I’m gonna start shooting?”
