At New York City’s LaGuardia Airport, a Transportation Security Administration inspection revealed 17 bullets were concealed inside a baby’s diaper when a man’s carry-on bag set off an alarm at a security checkpoint.

On Wednesday, the TSA reported that an Arkansas resident initially claimed he had no knowledge of the bullet-filled diaper in his carry-on bag. Later, however, he alleged that his girlfriend was the one who put the bullets there.

The TSA reported that when they unwrapped the diaper, they discovered 17 bullets that had been skillfully hidden inside the clean disposable baby diaper.

The Port Authority Police gave the traveler a citation for having the 9mm ammunitions without lawful permission.

On the same day, the TSA reported that one of their agents at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, blocked a Maryland citizen from taking his gun aboard an airplane.

The TSA revealed that the man was in possession of a .40 caliber gun which was fully loaded with 10 rounds. He asserted that he “forgot” he was carrying the firearm.

In addition, TSA reported that traveler from Rockville was handed a citation for an alleged weapon offense concerning an occurrence.

At this time of the year, John Busch, the Federal Security Director for the airport, mentioned in a statement that instead of seeing travelers transporting presents, baked goods, and desserts, they are noticing too many guns. He noted that it is inexcusable and disheartening that so many people are carelessly taking firearms to checkpoints. He further commented that responsible gun owners are aware of where their guns are located at all times.

This year, more than 6,000 firearms have been apprehended by TSA agents at security checkpoints across the U.S., pointing to the likelihood of a new annual record being set. This is considering that 6,542 handguns were already intercepted in the previous year.
