DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Federal security agents say a gun was found this week in the carry-on bag of a passenger at the Des Moines International Airport — the 11th gun found at the airport this year.
Television station KCCI reports that Transportation Security Administration workers discovered the loaded handgun Wednesday during an X-ray screening of the bag.

Des Moines police are investigating to determine whether the passenger will face criminal charges.
Travelers who bring a firearm to airport checkpoints also are subject to a civil penalty from the TSA of up to $13,000.
