Look closely at the timing of when the firearm is to be taken out of the holster, replaced in the holster, and what is happening in the aircraft at those times with regard to workload in the cockpit at critical phases of the flight. Examine closely the federally (TSA) mandated holster and padlock that is required for use. See how the padlock trigger locking mechanism RESTS AGAINST THE TRIGGER. Think to yourself about having a trigger lock that, with the normal procedure of securing the firearm in the holster, would press the trigger and FIRE the weapon. That is what happened in this case.
