CBS Pittsburgh October 14, 2021 Pittsburgh International Airport has put the hammer down on gun owners after a record number of loaded firearms were caught going through security. Just last week, TSA announced if you're caught, the stakes would be higher including hefty fines and the loss of your concealed carry permit. But it doesn't seem as though everyone got the memo. Authorities thought jacking up fines and threatening to take concealed carry permits away would do the trick, but just over the weekend here another traveler tried to get a loaded handgun undetected through security.
