Passengers are bringing a record number of
guns to airports, TSA says
Oct 13 2021

Airline passengers are bringing guns to
the airport in numbers never seen before,
and it is a "huge problem," the
Transportation Security Administration
chief told CNN.

Security and law enforcement officials
are at the same time dealing with an
unprecedented surge in belligerent
passengers who are straining the systems
designed to keep air travel safe.

"We've had many more incidences where
there are passenger disturbances both
in checkpoints and onboard aircraft.
That makes it more important that there
are no guns involved," TSA Administrator
David Pekoske said in an interview.

TSA reports catching 4,650 firearms at
checkpoints in the first 10 months of the
year — a majority of which were loaded.
That number surpasses the full-year record
of 4,432, set in 2019.

And with 11 weeks left in the year —
including the busy Thanksgiving and
Christmas travel seasons — Pekoske says
he thinks the number of confiscated
weapons reflects an American population
that is increasingly armed.

"I think more people are carrying weapons,
just generally across the country, and then
whatever is happening across the country we
see reflected in our checkpoints," he said.
"As a passenger, I don’t want a another
passenger flying with me with a gun in their
possession."

Most of the firearms found were loaded —
more than 3,900, or more than 80%.

<LOL> It qent from 10 per million passengers to 11 per million....

Not a surprise since more and more people are carrying guns to offset
the governments' defunding of police.

near delicate hydraulics and electronics?

That report was not about guns on a plane. The guns found in airports
by TSA are most likely by people who carry them in a briefcase or
purse regularly and simply forget they have them when they go to fly.

If one forgets that one is carrying a firearm, perhaps that individual
should not be carrying a firearm.

I guess I should have said... "The guns found in airports
by TSA are most likely by people who carry them in a briefcase or
purse regularly and simply forget they have them (IN THEIR CARRY ON)."

It's not likely that anyone would forget when they're actually
carrying on their body.
