ORLANDO, Fla. — A passenger tried to bring a loaded *** in a carry-on bag at Orlando International Airport causing a long back-up at checkpoints during the Christmas holiday rush.
Transportation Security Administration spokeswoman Tari Koshetz told The Associated Press the passenger was carrying a Ruger with a separate magazine loaded with 10 rounds of .22-calibre ammunition. The ******** caused a backup at the busy airport early Tuesday morning.
Koshetz says it was the 91st ****** intercepted by TSA officers at Orlando’s airport this year.
Orlando ****** spokeswoman Michelle Guido tells local news outlets the passenger has a valid ******* concealed ******* license. Federal law, however, prohibits passengers from carrying ******* through airport checkpoints. Guido says the passenger will be charged with carrying a concealed ******* in a place prohibited by law.
The passenger’s name wasn’t immediately released.
