Airport gun seizures hit record high. The number of guns TSA agents are confiscating is growing faster than the number of passengers going through security, and may be tied to concealed-carry laws. In 2017, an average of 10.8 guns were found in bags at U.S. airport security checkpoints every day, a 16.7 percent increase from the previous year. TSA agents also discovered grenades, gun power and, in one instance, an inert box of explosives. |
