Last year, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport hit a record it did not want to hit; TSA agents found 113 firearms in people’s carry-on luggage at security.
Airline passengers, some not wearing face masks following the end of Covid-19 public transportation rules, wait at a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint to clear security before boarding to flights in the airport terminal in Denver, Colorado on April 19, 2022.
Statewide, more guns were found at Washington airports in 2022 than any year before, with 164 total. Spokane International Airport also had a record firearm year, with 34 guns found, as did Tri-Cities Airport in Pasco, with 11 guns. Don’t think you can talk your way out of those penalties, either, said TSA spokesperson Lorie Dankers. She said that TSA has heard every excuse in the book, and saying, “I forgot the gun was in my bag” is not going to fly.
