The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reported intercepting over 1,500 firearms at U.S. airports during the first quarter of 2024. The agency emphasized that traveling with a firearm is permitted but must be properly packed as checked baggage and declared to the airline. The number of firearms found in 2024 was comparable to the previous year, with a slight decrease.
Ammunition in any quantity is not allowed in carry-on luggage. @TSA officers @DENAirport came across these last week during routine X-ray screening at the checkpoint. Please check the contents of your carry-on before you come to the airport. https://t.co/w0jheqMHvT
