TSA announced in a series of tweets Sunday that just this year agents have stopped 70 guns at checkpoints at the New Orleans airport. Most of the guns found were loaded, according to TSA. TSA tweeted a graphic showing a calendar with stars. The stars mark a gun that a passenger at MSY brought to a checkpoint. "In addition to the 70 guns so far this year, the magazines and ammunition on the table were also stopped by security officers," TSA said in a statement tweeted Monday. TSA said with five months left in the year, they have seen more guns this year at MSY than in 2019 and 2020. "Guns must be declared, put in a locked, hard-sided case in checked baggage. Know the law at the destination as well," TSA said in a statement tweeted Monday.
