A Pennsylvania man was arrested by police at Newark Liberty International Airport on Thanksgiving after Transportation Security Administration agents found a loaded handgun in his carry-on luggage.
The unidentified man had a 9mm handgun, loaded with 13 bullets including one in the chamber, in his carry-on.
“Getting caught with and arrested for carrying a loaded gun at our airport means this individual had a pretty bad Thanksgiving … Not only was this man arrested, but he also now faces a stiff federal financial civil penalty that could run into thousands of dollars,” said Thomas Carter, TSA Federal Security Director for New Jersey.
