Packing for the Airport (Continued)


Headline on today's weekly report from the Transportation Security Administration on  weapons found in the last week in passengers' carry-on bags at U.S. airports:

Here's the breakdown just of the firearms found in the last week, via the TSA:


 Here's a link to the full report on the TSA blog.
