A forgetful Florida flier attempted to go through security at Washington Dulles International Airport, having forgotten she had a loaded handgun in her carry-on bag, the Transportation Security Administration said.
An X-ray officer inspected the unnamed woman’s carry-on bag, uncovering the offending 9mm handgun. At the time, the weapon was loaded with eight bullets, including one in the chamber.
She was then written a citation by Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority police.
Her excuse to officers?
“She told officials that she forgot that she was carrying her loaded gun,” the TSA noted in their announcement.
