Disassembled gun found in carry-on bags at Newark airport: TSA

NEWARK, N.J. (PIX11) — An Indiana man was arrested after handgun parts and bullets were found inside his carry-on bags at Newark Liberty International Airport Wednesday, according to the Transportation Security Administration.

A TSA officer manning a checkpoint X-ray monitor spotted the components of a 9mm handgun inside two of the man’s carry-on bags, officials said. When the bags were searched, 15 bullets were also found. Authorities said that when assembled, the components would have formed a working gun.
