“Even with much lower than normal passenger numbers, we continue to find firearms at a very high rate at security checkpoints,” said Steve Wood, TSA Federal Security Director for Tennessee. Security is the first concern of the TSA, and having these items in bags that are traveling with you on the aircraft is dangerous to other travelers and can be easily mistaken as an intentional attempt to bring a prohibited item onto an aircraft. TSA would like to remind passengers that it is important for them to thoroughly search their bags for any potential dangerous weapons or prohibited items before departing for the airport. While firearms may be transported in checked baggage (provided they are declared to the airline, in a proper carrying case and unloaded), they are prohibited in carry-on bags.
TSA immediately alerted airport police, who took possession of the bag and escorted the passenger out of the checkpoint area. The Transportation Security Administration discovered a loaded firearm at a Tri-Cities Airport (TRI) checkpoint this morning.Īt approximately 6:45 a.m., a loaded Ruger 9mm handgun was detected in a passenger’s carry-on bag. or one of its affiliates.BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn.
