ATF agent leaves gun in bathroom at Milwaukee airport
A special agent returning to Mitchell International Airport left her firearm in a bathroom there Tuesday night, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said.
The special agent immediately alerted authorities when she realized she left her weapon, assistant special agent in charge Guy Thomas said Wednesday. He said it was either recovered by local authorities or a civilian.
Thomas said he didn’t know how long the weapon was left in the bathroom but said the situation ended quickly.

What makes this even more interesting is this little fact from Red’s Trading Post:
There are only (2) female special agents at the Milwaukee ATF Field Office, [according to my sources, not yet confirmed]. I am told both female agents were involved in US v. Olofson. So that amounts to a 100% chance of this agent being involved in Olofson’s prosecution, and a 50% chance of being the same agent from ATF who prosecuted Mr. Olofson, [as the lead agent in Olofson's case was Jody Keeku].
Mr. Olofson is the drill instructor in the Wisconsin National Guard who has been convicted in federal court for illegally transferring a machine gun after the rifle he loaned to a student malfunctioned, setting off three shots before jamming.
