TSA: 2 guns found in flyers’ handbags in busy morning at JFK
Federal officials say two women with guns in their handbags have been stopped at checkpoints within 90 minutes at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
The Transportation Security Administration says officers found a BB gun in one woman’s bag around 5:45 a.m. Thursday. The Brooklyn resident got a summons.
Then, separately, officers said an X-ray machine detected a .40-caliber, semi-automatic unloaded handgun in another woman’s purse around 7:15 a.m. The agency says the Chatham, New York, resident told officers she forgot she had the weapon with her.
