The number of weapons seized at airports this year have increased 20% over last year, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
TSA agents have confiscated 2,164 guns as of Christmas, which marks the seventh consecutive year of increases in the number of weapons seized.
So what’s the deal? Haven’t people been warned enough since Sept. 11, 2001, that they won’t be able to board a plane with a weapon?
It appears not, TSA officials said.
The agency launched a public-relations campaign last month to remind people during the holidays to leave their weapons at home.
