Bloomberg reported that airport employees have already been notified at some locations that they need to employ a “more rigorous” and “thorough” screening. The Transportation Security Administration told the news agency that airport security workers used to have five search options when conducting a pat-down. Last month, as many as 11 people reportedly walked through an open and unattended checkpoint at New York’s JFK Airport. Airport security screeners found more firearms in carry-on bags one day last week than they ever had before on record: 21 across the country, the Transportation Security Administration reported on its blog last week. Over the course of the whole week, TSA confiscated 79 firearms in carry-ons nationwide, 68 of which were loaded and 21 had a round chambered, meaning a bullet was ready to be fired.
