You’d think just two weeks after the 10th Anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks, people would be conscious about bringing guns to airports. You’d think.

But nooo.

As part of ticklethewire.com’s occasional check up on guns at airports, we found that 20 firearms were found at airport checkpoints in the U.S. the week of Sept. 22 to Oct. 2, according to the Transportation Security Administration.

What’s more, during that week two “artfully concealed prohibited items” were found and 12 passengers were arrested after investigations of suspicious behavior or fraudulent travel documents.
