The Transportation Security Administration confiscated a record number of guns at checkpoints in 2022, most of which were loaded, as the agency has increased the maximum fine for firearm violations.
TSA said it has recovered 6,301 firearms from airport security checkpoints so far this year as of Friday -- more than 88% of which were loaded.
That surpasses the previous record of 5,972 firearms detected in 2021.

1SG Paul Ayotte - Ask the SGM who took off his LBE and left it lying in the TOC in the field in Korea -- only to find his pistol still lying exactly where he left it but the suspenders, pistol belt, holster, and canteen had all vanished.
