Three guns found at Des Moines airport this year
Des Moines International Airport officials say that TSA inspectors have found three firearms at checkpoints so far this year. They found 12 in all of 2018, while nationally the tally was a record 4,239. TSA is meeting with reporters this week to publicize rules on carrying firearms on flights. Guns must be checked in a locked, hard-sided case and declared to the ticketing agent.
