TSA said so far this year, 41 firearms have been detected at the Columbus airport — which surpasses the previous record of 40 firearms being detected.
The latest firearm that was confiscated at the airport was on Tuesday around 8:30 a.m. TSA said the loaded weapon was discovered in a passenger’s carry-on bag.
TSA announced that during the first three quarters of 2023, officers intercepted 5,072 firearms at airport security checkpoints. At the current rate, the agency said it will surpass last year’s record 6,542 firearms prevented from getting onboard aircraft. The penalty for a firearm violation can be as high as $14,950, but TSA said it determines the penalties based on the circumstances in each case. Passengers will be revoked of TSA PreCheck eligibility for at least five years if they’re caught with a firearm in their possession.
