By now, most people know that you can’t bring things like liquids and knives on planes. Unfortunately, a ton of travelers still have not gotten word that a loaded firearm is also a thing you can’t put in your carry-on.
The TSA announced that it set a record on February 23, with 21 firearms being discovered in a single day – which tops the previous one-day high of 18 back in June of 2014.
