TSA Seizes Record 2,212 Firearms

TSA Tweet: #TSACatch - This 5.7X28mm pistol was discovered in a carry-on bag today at the #Atlanta Hartsfield-Jackson (#ATL) International Airport. It was loaded with 29 rounds plus one in the chamber. This could have been legally packed in checked baggage...

"Look at the scary high capacity armor-piercing cop killer we found!" is what I expected to see them put up there.

TSA doesn't have the authority to seize, or confiscate anything.

They find items, and finding a firearm in check in luggage that wasn't declared to airlines, they notify local law enforcement to deal with it.

Anyone having a weapon in carry on through a check point... :p

Love the news media. :roll:

FiveSeveN owner must not have been a Georgia Weapons License holder.

O.C.G.A. § 16-11-130.2
Carrying a weapon or long gun at a commercial service airport
(a) No person shall enter the restricted access area of a commercial service airport, in or beyond the airport security screening checkpoint, knowingly possessing or knowingly having under his or her control a weapon or long gun. Such area shall not include an airport drive, general parking area, walkway, or shops and areas of the terminal that are outside the screening checkpoint and that are normally open to unscreened passengers or visitors to the airport. Any restricted access area shall be clearly indicated by prominent signs indicating that weapons are prohibited in such area.

(b) A person who is not a license holder and who violates this Code section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. A license holder who violates this Code section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor; provided, however, that a license holder who is notified at the screening checkpoint for the restricted access area that he or she is in possession of a weapon or long gun and who immediately leaves the restricted access area following such notification and completion of federally required transportation security screening procedures shall not be guilty of violating this Code section.

(c) Any person who violates this Code section with the intent to commit a separate felony offense shall be guilty of a felony and, upon conviction thereof, shall be punished by a fine of not less than $1,000.00 nor more than $15,000.00, imprisonment for not less than one nor more than ten years, or both.

(d) Any ordinance, resolution, regulation, or policy of any county, municipality, or other political subdivision of this state which is in conflict with this Code section shall be null, void, and of no force and effect, and this Code section shall preempt any such ordinance, resolution, regulation, or policy.
Of course... that's just the state law, nothing else.

Considering how many airports there are and how many travelers pass thru per day, that number would be insignificant and proof of how that law abiding would be the only armless ones. Anyway pretty sure that BLOG is full of crap. People are stupid, yes I know but come on! 40mm granades, linked ammo, tons of throwing stars? Bullsh......

I love the staple guns, air soft guns and dummy grenades.. Gee thanks for keeping us safe....Bang up job!

You never know when a teenage mutant ninja turtle will emerge from the bathroom. Mikey could come out wielding nun chucks and a circular saw blade (aka over sized throwing star) yelling "kawabonga dude!"
