TSA: Loaded gun confiscated, man cited on weapons charge at Pittsburgh International Airport
Transportation Security Administration officers at Pittsburgh International Airport said they stopped a man with a loaded gun at the security checkpoint on Monday.
TSA officers said the 9mm handgun was spotted in the X-ray. They said the man also had two loaded magazines.
Allegheny County police were alerted. They confiscated the handgun and cited the Florida resident on a weapons charge.
“Part of being a responsible gun owner is knowing where your firearm is at all times and knowing not to bring one to a TSA security checkpoint,” said Karen Keys-Turner, TSA’s Federal Security Director for the airport.
The TSA said as of May 10, six guns have been caught at Pittsburgh International Airport checkpoints.
