“Each year, thousands of air travelers, airport workers and TSA officers face unnecessary danger because of gun owners who attempt to bring firearms through carry-on luggage checkpoints,” [Pennsylvania State Rep. Dan] Frankel said in a statement. “The statistics are alarming – last year, TSA seized about 6,500 guns, and nearly 90% of them were loaded. The owners’ response in 100% of the cases was ‘I forgot.’”
This year, the TSA says it is on track to set a record for the most guns stopped at checkpoints in a single year.
