"TSA officers confiscated a record number of guns at airport checkpoints in 2022, agency officials announced Tuesday.
The Transportation Security Administration said they discovered 6,542 firearms over the course of the year, 570 more than was found in 2021, which previously held the record.
The agency reported that 88% of the guns they confiscated were loaded at the time.
All those guns can be a costly mistake for travelers. In December, TSA raised the fines for carrying a gun through airport security because of the increase through 2022.
Previously, an unloaded gun carried a fine between $1,500 and $2,475 and a criminal referral, while a loaded gun found at airport security could lead to a fine between $3,000 and $10,000.
For the 241 guns found in the last two weeks of the year, the maximum fine for a loaded gun could be as much as $14,950. Repeat offenders could rack up fines for even more, according to the agency's website."
Yeah. We take this stuff very, very seriously.
