The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) has released a report that shows that Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport has found more guns than any other airport in the United States so far in 2023. As of June 30, 2023, TSA officers have found 214 guns at Hartsfield-Jackson, which is on pace to be a record. The vast majority of passengers who have had guns found in their carry-on bags say they forgot they were there after being found at security checkpoints. After a firearm is found, TSA officers notify airport police, who take the firearm and passenger to the airport precinct. Passengers who bring guns to the security checkpoint face civil penalties, and they may also be subject to criminal citations.
