In 2019, the TSA apprehended some 4400 guns - but that was 5 guns for every 1 million passengers screened. The 4500 guns as of mid-October 2021 = 11 for every passenger screened. IE gun carrying by air travelers has doubled since before the pandemic. 5/x https://t.co/FwJsjVlmb6 — PolitiTweet.org

As of mid-October -well before the holiday flying season began - the TSA had apprehended 4500 weapons at airport check-ins, a 20-year record. But the statistic is even worse than it sounds, because air travel is still depressed from pre-pandemic peaks. 4/x — PolitiTweet.org

When caught, gun carriers often say they "forgot" they had a gun in their bag. If true, that's not an encouraging indication about the mental acuity of America's gun owners. But fairly obviously, it's not true. They just have that little respect for laws and rules. 6/x — PolitiTweet.org
