WASHINGTON — Could it be that the Christmas Day underwear bombing incident may have raised the consciousness of the everyday traveler — at least when it comes to bringing guns to the airport?
We may never know for sure.
What we do know is that normally on any given week the Transportation Security Administration finds 25 to 30 guns or more at airport passenger checkpoints in the U.S.
TSA figuresĀ posted for the week of Jan. 11-17 show there were only 8 guns found, an unusually low number.
The TSA did not immediately return a phone call to see if it had any explanation.
