Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport broke a record for passengers detected with weapons at checkpoints so far this year, with more than a hundred, while the total at Florida’s air terminals surpassed, with 456, the 2020 totals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With more than three months to go until 2021, the stage is set for an unfortunate and dangerous record, a record that no airport wants to set,” said Sari Koshetz, spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), in releasing the figures on Friday, according to EFE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He detailed that “statewide” in Florida TSA officials have seen an increase in the number of passengers bringing weapons to airport checkpoints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This is a disturbing trend that threatens the safety of other passengers and our officers,” he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He explained that it also poses the risk of an accidental discharge with “tragic results” considering the way some travelers throw their bags on the X-ray belt for screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At TSA checkpoints in Fort Lauderdale 103 weapons have been detected, up from a record 100 in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Orlando International Airport it reached 80, Tampa 71 and Miami 51 so far this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Thursday alone, TSA officers detected three guns in Fort Lauderdale, all loaded, and three in Miami, two of them loaded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TSA spokesman said many airports will exceed the 2019 gun count even as passenger volumes still remain lower than in that year before the pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It recalled that passengers face a civil fine of about $14,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TSA noted that passengers traveling with weapons should carry them in checked baggage and should also be aware of the laws of the destinations to which they are traveling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency advises to leave the weapon at home or otherwise make sure to declare it to the airline at check-in, keep it unloaded and in a locked hard case in checked baggage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
