The TSA said it flagged Port Authority Police, which confiscated the gun parts from the Terminal 8 baggage screening room. Officers found the bag’s owner, a Rhode Island man, in the terminal and arrested him. The man, whom the statement did not identify, faces a financial civil penalty of up to roughly $15,000 for trying to bring an undeclared weapon onto a flight, the TSA said.Article content

The Rhode Island man’s arrest happened on one of most hectic travel days of the year, when 2.3 million people passed through TSA checkpoints and security officers were unusually busy. Holiday air travel was up slightly from 2021 and dramatically higher than in 2020, when the coronavirus pandemic caused many people to pump the brakes on taking mass transit.

Parts of Newfoundland and Labrador to see 'significant' rain going into new yearEnvironment Canada has issued a special weather statement for parts of Newfoundland and Labrador that will remain in effect until Monday. whhhooooooooooooooooooooooo rain, scary ! they are vax, so no one will die , right ? Fake. But if it happens it always happens every year. And if it doesn't happen every year it happened in 1972 so it's not a big deal. nfld gets 6-9 ft of precipitation every single year be it in rain or snow, blizzards or continuous. don't even start pretending it's all climate change bullsht. the climate belts are what drives the weather in nfld and always has.
