An Alum Creek, W.Va., man was stopped by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers at West Virginia International Yeager Airport with a loaded firearm on June 20. The .380 caliber revolver was loaded with five bullets and was detected among the traveler’s carry-on items.
TSA officers halted the screening process and immediately notified the police, who responded to the checkpoint and confiscated the gun. TSA does not confiscate guns, law enforcement does. Police also cited the man on a weapons charge.
