The North Carolina man said he forgot he had the gun in his bag. He was cited on a weapons charge.
The weapon was found after the man entered the checkpoint and the X-ray machine alerted the TSA officer. Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police responded and the gun was confiscated. The man was cited on a state weapons charge.“If you own a firearm, you need to know where it is at all times,” Scott T. Johnson, TSA’s federal security director at Dulles, said in a statement.
TSA officers this year have caught 15 guns at Dulles. In 2021, 30 guns were caught at security checkpoints at the airport.
