Over the past few years the Transportation Security Administration has found an increasing number of guns in carry-on luggage, though it’s hard to tell if that’s because the agency has gotten better at detecting them, more flyers are inadvertently (or intentionally) bringing their firearms with them to the airport, or a combination of the two.
You’re gonna have a really bad time if TSA does discover a pistol in your carry-on; at the very least, you’re probably going to miss your flight and you very well could be subjected to a fine or (in some states) criminal charges. In Pennsylvania, one Democratic lawmaker is hoping to crack down on those forgetful or absent-minded travelers by revoking their carry licenses if they’re caught with a gun in their baggage.
