A Norwell man heading to Florida was arrested by state police at Logan International Airport Sunday evening carrying a loaded 9mm Glock pistol, according to the Transportation Security Administration.
The weapon was discovered by TSA workers as the man tried to make his way to the JetBlue gates for a flight to Fort Lauderdale around 5 p.m., said TSA spokeswoman Ann Davis. She said the weapon was found in the man's carry-on luggage by TSA screeners. He was traveling alone.

What? You can't bring a loaded gun onto a plane anymore either??

I would love to hear what he came up with for an excuse was for having it in his bag.

Amazing how stupid or arrogant people are...

I occassionally do some work at airports around the country and it is amazing to see what people have had confiscated.

Many TSA offices have display cases of seized carry-on items. Some of the more intreresting items: electric chainsaw, cheese grater, toys of an adult nature, soldering irons and of course every type of knife you could imagine. Next time out I'll have to give the display case a better look and try to remember some of the more bizarre items.
