DES MOINES, Iowa (KCCI) — Authorities on Friday found a loaded handgun in a woman’s carry-on luggage at the Des Moines International Airport. It’s the second firearm detected this year at a Des Moines airport security checkpoint, according to a news release from the Transportation Security Administration.

The woman told authorities that she forgot it was in the luggage. The Des Moines Police Department says she was cited and then released. In addition to any action taken by law enforcement, TSA fines passengers who bring a firearm to a TSA checkpoint with a civil penalty up to approximately $15,000, revokes TSA PreCheck eligibility for at least five years and may conduct enhanced screening to ensure there are no other threats present.

“Passengers are allowed to travel with their firearms and ammunition as long as they follow the proper procedures,” Iowa TSA Federal Security Director John Bright said in the release. “Responsible firearm owners always know where their guns are, and they should never bring them to the security checkpoint in carry-on luggage.”

Seven firearms were detected at Des Moines airport security checkpoints in total last year.
