LOTS more of our fellow travelers are packing for the airport, so to
speak. So far this year (as of the end of last week), the Transportation
Security Administration has found 892 guns in passengers’ carry-on bags
at security checkpoints. That’s a 19 percent increase from the
comparable period of last year, when the total was 750 guns.
The 2013 gun-tote tally was a record, at 1,813 firearms found,
incidentally. As this year’s gun haul keeps rolling along, a one-day
record was set just last Wednesday, when screeners found 18 guns, which
beat the previous one-day record of 13 guns on May 20, 2013. About 80
percent of all guns found are loaded.
