Mayle said 88 percent of guns found in 2022 were loaded, and the TSA will impose fines on offenders, ranging from a maximum of $14,450 for a loaded gun to a maximum of $5,370 for an unloaded gun.ĭespite the risks of fines and arrests for violations, some rules allow for passengers to legally carry their guns, said Pamela Hinman, director of marketing and communications at the Eastern Iowa Airport.
“So, the police do have discretion on whether that passenger is going to get a ticket or be arrested that day or not.” “They’ll send an officer over, they take possession of the weapon, and then they talk to the passenger and decide what they want to do,” Mayle said. Instead, individuals are charged with a fine, and criminal charges are left to the discretion of local authorities. The TSA cannot arrest individuals with guns or confiscate their weapons. Jessica Mayle, a TSA regional spokesperson, said passengers caught with guns can slow down lines at airports.
