TSA agents seize firearms at Leahy BTV
SOUTH BURLINGTON, Vt. (ABC22/FOX44) – TSA agents at Leahy BTV found two guns on a 49-year-old passenger during a security screening February 9.
Authorities spotted the man with two P365 pistols and three loaded magazines. The passenger reportedly told agents that he forgot the firearms were on him.
This is the first firearm detection at Leahy BTV this year, and the last one was September 7, 2024.
In a release, Vermont TSA Federal Security Director Chuck Woyat said 'When an individual shows up at a checkpoint with a firearm it can slow or shut down security screening until the police resolve the incident.
'There are clear and simple rules for flying with firearms, and we want to make sure passengers understand them to avoid delays, fines, and potential legal consequences.'
