Since 2010, the number of firearms intercepted by TSA at airports has steadily increased, with the exception of 2020, when air travel fell significantly because of the coronavirus pandemic. From 2010 to 2019, the number of firearms detected by TSA at airport security checkpoints detected firearms increased from 1,123 to 4,432. Then, in 2020, the number dropped to 3,257 before increasing again almost twofold in two years.
For passengers caught with guns in their possession, the agency said it would revoke their TSA PreCheck eligibility for five years, referring to a program that grants certain travelers expedited screening processes at airports.
