PITTSBURGH — (WPXI) – Transportation Security Administration officers stopped a record-breaking 36th gun at Pittsburgh International Airport Tuesday. According to TSA, a Uniontown man was stopped with a 9mm handgun loaded with five bullets in his carry-on bag. The gun was confiscated and the man was arrested, officials said. “We seem to have a very disturbing number of guns being carried to our checkpoints this month,” said TSA’s Federal Security Director for the airport, Karen Keys-Turner. “Tuesday’s gun catch was the sixth firearm caught in the first 10 days of the month and the 36th gun caught so far this year. Thirty-six is now our record high number of guns caught at our checkpoints in a single year.” The previous record of 35 guns caught at airport security was set in 2019. Passengers are permitted to travel with guns only in checked baggage if they are unloaded and packed in a hard-sided locked case. Then the locked case should be taken to the airline check-in counter to be declared.
