Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers have stopped an average of 17 firearms at checkpoints each day over the past six months.
A Pennsylvania man tried to bring a loaded handgun onto a flight at Harrisburg International Airport on Monday. The gun was loaded with six bullets, according to the TSA.
Just days before, officers stopped a handgun from making its way past security at Dane County Regional Airport in Wisconsin and prevented another loaded handgun from getting on board a plane at Newark Liberty International Airport. Even before the holiday kicked off, the TSA and Port Authority Police announced concerns about "the frequency that they are seeing travelers carry ammunition and handguns to security checkpoints at Newark Liberty International Airport," most of which were found to be loaded, according to the TSA.
The TSA can issue civil penalties to travelers, even those with concealed gun carry permits, who bring weapons with them to checkpoints, according to the agency. "Civil penalties for bringing a handgun into a checkpoint can stretch into thousands of dollars, depending on mitigating or aggravating circumstances," the TSA said.
