A Record Number of Idiots Tried to Take Guns on Planes in 2015

Written by SK Ashby

A record number of American morons attempted to carry guns onto planes with them in 2015 according to the Transportation Security Administration.

TSA agents intercepted a total of 2,653 guns at American airports in 2015 and most of them were loaded and ready to fire.

The total represented a 20% increase from the 2,212 found in 2014. The discoveries represent a steady increase from 660 guns found in 2005 through 1,123 in 2010. [...]

More than four out of five of the guns found — 2,198 or 82.8% — were loaded.

Perhaps not surprisingly, the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport in Texas saw the highest number of guns confiscated (153) followed by Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (144) and Houston George Bush Intercontinental Airport (100).

I presume 2016 will shatter the record previously held by 2015. Residents of Texas can now carry their guns almost anywhere, including psychiatric hospitals, but not on a flight.
