Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport was a hub for guns last year

Travelers flying through the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Airport were among the most armed airline passengers in the country last year.

FLL cracked the top 10 of the Transportation Security Administration’s list of airports with the most guns found in carry-on bags in 2022.

TSA reports that 88% of the more than 6,500 guns discovered across the country last year were loaded.

Be smart: Gun owners can transport unloaded firearms in a locked hard-shell container in checked baggage only, according to the TSA.

The Fort Lauderdale airport rolled out a PSA in 2019 to educate travelers about TSA gun rules, Arlene Satchell, the public information officer for the Broward County Aviation Department, told Axios.

Last year, they reinstalled warning signs at the entrance to the security processing lines that were temporarily removed in 2020 for COVID-related safety messaging, Satchell wrote in an email. axios.com
