TSA officers at Washington Dulles International Airport (IAD) have recovered 22 firearms so far this year, which is more guns than have been collected at Virginia-based airport in the last five years.
On Friday, Dec. 9, TSA officers collected the 22nd firearm of the year, preventing a Florida resident from bringing a loaded handgun on her flight. The 9mm handgun was loaded with eight bullets, including one in the chamber.
Officers caught the weapon as the woman entered the security checkpoint through the X-ray machine. The gun was discovered inside her carry-on bag.
TSA officials then notified the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police who confiscated the gun and cited the unidentified woman on a weapons charge. She told officials that she forgot that she was carrying her loaded gun.
