Record 65 Firearms Discovered This Week – This beats our previous record of 50 guns. Of the 65 firearms, 54 were loaded and 19 had rounds chambered.

A passenger at Salt Lake City (SLC) received a pat-down after an anomaly was detected during advanced imaging technology screening. During the pat-down, officers discovered a fully loaded .22 caliber firearm inside his boot and strapped to the prosthetic leg.



We know you gun bunnies want to drool over those guns, so you can find their pinup photos at http://blog.tsa.gov/2013/05/tsa-week-in-review-record-65-firearms.html

None of this is new; the number has been going up steadily for a long time now.

Despite well-publicized airport security measures, U.S. travelers attempted to bring more than 1,500 guns on board planes in 2012 — resulting in the most annual confiscations on record, according to a Transportation Security Administration report.

The year’s final tally put the total number of confiscated firearms for the year at 1,527, although the TSA still hasn’t released official figures on its blog for the final few days of 2012 {It was expected to end up over 1,550}. It’s still a significant increase over 2011, when more than 1,300 guns were seized by the agency. http://newsfeed.time.com/2013/01/10/tsa-confiscates-record-number-of-g

Imagine what the numbers will be for 2013! Note that 85% of record-number of guns confiscated by TSA in 2012 were loaded, that the top six airports for gun confiscations are in the South or Arizona. Big surprise.

Yeah, America's just chock FULL of "responsible gun owners". EVERY red-blooded 'Murican should own a gun. You betcha.
