The 41st gun was caught Tuesday, when officials say a Philadelphia man was found with a 9mm gun in his carry-on bag.
TSA officers brought the man to an airline counter to properly declare and check the gun with the airport. He could now pay thousands for a federal financial civil penalty.
"This individual had the proper paperwork and carrying case for his firearm, but he made a big mistake when he brought it to the security checkpoint when he should have taken it to the airline check-in counter to be declared and transported properly for his flight," said Gerardo Spero, TSA’s Federal Security Director for Philadelphia International Airport.
