Passenger With Undeclared Loaded Weapon Stopped by TSA in Fargo

FARGO, N.D. (KVRR/KFGO) — TSA officers stopped a passenger from bringing a loaded gun onto an airplane Thursday at Hector International Airport.

The gun was spotted during a routine x-ray screening of the passenger’s carry-on luggage.

A Fargo police officer responded to the checkpoint.

The passenger could face a $15,000 fine and other penalties.

It is the second gun detected at Hector so far this year.

Last year, there were three undeclared guns found by TSA at the airport.
