(Pittsburgh, PA) Another gun was intercepted at Pittsburgh International Airport on Wednesday owned by a man from Indiana County. Officials from the Transportation Security Administration have confirmed that a .380 caliber handgun was found at the security checkpoint. According to Donald Weston, TSA’s Acting Federal Security Director, the man had no clue how the gun got into his luggage, and notes that the process to travel with a firearm is to proceed to the check-in counter from the airline, put the gun in a case that is both hard-sided and locked, and the gun must be unloaded. Bringing a weapon to the checkpoint of an airport can cost someone fines of nearly $15,000, depending on the weapon type and the state of the incident.
