6,542 guns were intercepted by the Transportation Security Administration last year at airport checkpoints across the country. The number roughly 18 per day was an all-time high for guns intercepted at U.S. airports, and is sparking concern at a time when more Americans are armed.
What we see in our checkpoints really reflects what were seeing in society, and in society there are more people carrying firearms nowadays, TSA administrator David Pekoske said.
With the exception of pandemic-disrupted 2020, the number of weapons intercepted at airport checkpoints has climbed every year since 2010. Experts dont think this is an epidemic of would-be hijackers nearly everyone caught claims to have forgotten they had a gun with them but they emphasize the danger even one gun can pose in the wrong hands on a plane or at a checkpoint.
