TSA Week in Review: 53 Firearms Discovered This Week in Carry-on Bags
Stun Guns - 14 stun guns were discovered this week in carry-on bags around the nation. Two were discovered at Dallas Love (DAL), and the remainder were discovered at Baltimore (BWI), Boise (BOI), Burbank (BUR), Denver (DEN), Fairbanks (FAI), Glacier Park (FCA), Las Vegas (LAS), Oakland (OAK), Phoenix (PHX), Reno (RNO), San Diego (SAN), and Tulsa (TUL).
You can travel with your firearms in checked baggage, but they must first be declared to the airline. You can go here for more details on how to properly travel with your firearms. Firearm possession laws vary by state and locality. Travelers should familiarize themselves with state and local firearm laws for each point of travel prior to departure.
Unfortunately these sorts of occurrences are all too frequent which is why we talk about these finds. Sure, it’s great to share the things that our officers are finding, but at the same time, each time we find a dangerous item, the line is slowed down and a passenger that likely had no ill intent ends up with a citation or in some cases is even arrested. The passenger can face a penalty as high as $11,000. This is a friendly reminder to please leave these items at home. Just because we find a prohibited item on an individual does not mean they had bad intentions; that's for the law enforcement officer to decide. In many cases, people simply forgot they had these items.
*In order to provide a timely weekly update, this data is compiled from a preliminary report. The year-end numbers will vary slightly from what is reported in the weekly updates. However, any monthly, midyear or end-of-year numbers TSA provides on this blog or elsewhere will be actual numbers and not estimates.
