Gun Spotted in Man’s Carry on at Pittsburgh International

(Moon Twp., Pa.) For the Fourth Time this month a Security Screener at Pittsburgh International Airport spotted a gun in a passenger’s carry-on bag at the main checkpoint this week. The latest incident occurred on Monday. Allegheny County Police are reporting that the passenger had a valid concealed carry permit, and he had inadvertently left the loaded 9 mm handgun in his bag. The gun is currently in the possession of Allegheny County Police, who said no charges were expected.

The FBI was notified, and the 26-year-old Wexford man was given permission to fly.

The TSA issued a reminder to flyer that the checkpoint lane comes to a standstill when someone shows up with a gun, and it can delay travelers from getting to their gates.
