deicer Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Interesting numbers that make you go hmmmm. And that's just in three months! https://www.cnn.com/travel/tsa-firearm-interceptions-airports-january-march-2024/index.html Over 1,500 firearms were intercepted at US airports from January to March – and the vast majority were loaded The Transportation Security Administration reports that its officers intercepted 1,503 firearms in carry-on bags at security checkpoints in US airports during the first quarter of 2024. That number runs very close with TSA interceptions in the first quarter of 2023, in which 1,508 firearms were intercepted, the agency said in a news release. Overall, 2023 set a record for the number of firearms uncovered by officers at security checkpoints. But there’s a shocking stat that has stayed the same – in both time periods, 93% of those intercepted firearms were loaded with ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
