(San Antonio, TX) — The TSA is sounding the alarm on what they’re calling a “huge problem” of a record number of passengers bringing firearms to airports. Spokeswoman Patty Mancha says part of the problem is the nation’s changing gun laws.
Texas leads the way. The two Dallas airports and one in Houston are all in the top five when it comes to the seizure of guns at the TSA checkpoint. Spokeswoman Patty Mancha says the Texas gun laws are changing, which causes confusion, but their rules have never changed.
Mancha says there were fewer guns found last year, thanks to COVID, but the per-passenger rate keeps climbing.
