Literally Austin Powers-tier incrimination
i don't see how that's much more incriminating than just having the gun. it's not like there's any evidence or any charges that she had plans to use it or anything. she literally just served time for bringing the gun.
True but it does kind of nullify any hope of an "oops, im so sorry I got my bags mixed up when I was packing" defense
It's 2024. She still has an excuse.
"It's Google's fault. Their AI said it was okay."
Forgot to label the bag "Don't open, gun inside."
The AI told her: yes you can ( but didnt say in the US not anywhere else)
