A CBS reporter found a Secret Service firearm in the restroom of Mitt Romney's plane. Yikes:

A gun belonging to a member of Mitt Romney’s U.S. Secret Service detail was found unattended in the bathroom of the candidate’s charter plane Wednesday afternoon. The Republican nominee was traveling from Tampa, Fla., site of his party’s convention, to Indianapolis, Ind., for a speech.

The weapon, presumably left behind in the bathroom by accident, was discovered by a CBS News/National Journal reporter, who alerted a flight attendant about the gun. A member of the Secret Service on board the plane was informed and retrieved the gun.

A spokesman for the Service has confirmed that they are aware of the matter, and that it will be dealt with internally “in an appropriate manner.” 2012 really hasn’t been a great year in PR for the Secret Service, has it?
