Dear MEL Topic Readers,
US airport screeners confiscated guns at record rate in 2020
It is NOT illegal to own and carry guns in America, though restrictions may apply by state. But no passengers are allowed to carry a gun on a commercial flight, except for security officers who are permitted to. However, nearly 10 guns were confiscated each day, or 3,257 in total, at 234 airport checkpoints in the US last year. It represents approximately 10 firearms per million passengers, which is about twice as many as the previous year. Why did so many more Americans try to carry guns with them on a flight? Actually, Firearms can be in checked luggage but must be unloaded and packed in a locked hard-side case. So, did those who tried to carry their guns with them feel so unsafe and want to protect themselves at the airport or on the flight? And why did the figure increase that much last year? Was that because of the coronavirus pandemic, BLM movement, or presidential election? In fact, most of the guns confiscated were loaded, ready to shoot.
Enjoy reading the article and think which protects more nowadays, a gun or facemask.
