TSA Says Guns Discovered at Security Checkpoints Every Day

On average, two guns are discovered a day at airport security checkpoints nationwide, the Transportation Security Administration says on its blog.

"On average, our officers find about two guns a day at checkpoints. Yesterday must not have been an average day, because 10 guns were found in various checkpoints around the country, well above the norm," the TSA blog says. "When one of our officers tells a passenger that they’ve found a firearm in their bag, the most common response is that the person had no idea it was in there. One man even threw his wife under the bus and claimed she must have left it in there when she was packing his bag."

The blog then reminds anyone who owns a gun that might be traveling soon to double check theircarry-on bag just to make sure it’s not in there before they leave.

In today's rapidly evolving security landscape, organizations face an ever-growing array of disruptive events, security threats and risks. Traditional reactive approaches to security intelligence often leave businesses vulnerable and ill-prepared to anticipate and mitigate emerging threats that could impact the safety of their people, facilities or operations.
