Texas Still with Top Airports for Gun Confiscations
The 2015 numbers are in and once again Texas has two airports in the top five on the list of airports where the highest number of firearms were confiscated from carry on luggage last year.
153 firearms were confiscated at Dallas/Fort Worth International.
100 firearms were confiscated at George Bush Intercontinental.
Other airports in the top 5 included Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Intl, Denver International, and Phoenix Sky Harbour Intl. According to TSA representatives the vast majority of these circumstances occur when gun owners just forget they have the firearm in their bag or backpack.
