PITTSBURGH — (WPXI) – Another gun was stopped at Pittsburgh International Airport over the weekend, in a trend officials call “alarming and disturbing.” TSA says its officers stopped the loaded .380 caliber handgun at a checkpoint Friday in a carry-on bag of a man from McDonald, Pa. It brings the total of guns stopped at the airport this year to 39, continuing to increase the record high for guns stopped in a year. The previous record of 35 was set in 2019. “The number of travelers who continue to bring guns to our checkpoints is alarming and disturbing,” said TSA Federal Security Director for the airport Karen Keys-Turner. “Our officers are stopping nearly four guns per month. The man now faces a federal financial civil penalty of up to $15,000. TSA has details on how to travel with a firearm properly posted on its website. (PHOTO; TSA)
