People continue to get caught trying to pass through airport security with guns. In the last week in May alone, 23 guns were seized at U.S. airport checkpoints. But this case is a reminder that some guns may be getting on planes. Scary.

PHILADELPHIA — Authorities say a gun and ammunition were found inside a carry-on bag on a flight from Philadelphia International Airport Thursday morning.
The flight was stopped as it was about to take off just after 7:00am and US Airways employee Roshid Milledge and a passenger, Damien Young, have now been charged in connection with the incident.
Authorities say the airline employee allegedly handed the bag with the gun to the passenger as he boarded the plane. The flight was bound for Arizona.
