Die Hard (1988)

Question: At the start of the movie we see McClane arriving on the plane and he has his gun on him, would a detective really be allowed to carry his gun on board a plane?

Chosen answer: Yes, at the time this film was made; McClane would only need to have his badge and credentials verified by airport security.

I'm not sure how this works now but even as recently as 10 years ago, many departments required off-duty carry, except in certain situations. Now I know it's optional for many.
