A loaded gun was detected in a man's carry-on bag at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, the Transportation Security Administration said.
At Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, TSA agents detected a loaded 9mm handgun in a carry-on bag during routine screening on April 11, marking the second such incident at the airport in 2024. The firearm, which contained six rounds with one in the chamber, was discovered through X-ray technology, leading to the involvement of local police who confiscated the weapon. The passenger, who claimed to have forgotten the gun was in their bag, now faces a federal fine that could reach up to $15,000. This incident underscores the ongoing issue of firearms at security checkpoints, with over 1,500 guns detected at New England airports in 2023, and serves as a reminder of the strict regulations against carrying firearms in carry-on luggage.
