TSA officers at ONT stop passenger with gun
Law enforcment authorities questioned a male passenger bound for Southwest Airlines flight # 958 Sunday morning at approximately 5:40 a.m. after Transportation Security Administration officers found an undeclared weapon in his checked bag.
Law enforcement authorities released the .22 caliber hand gun back to the passenger, after conducting a criminal records check on the man and the weapon.
Ultimately, the process led to the man missing his flight. Instead of rebooking his flight with the airline, he ultimately decided not to travel Sunday.
Weapons are permitted in checked baggage so long as they are declared to the airline, in the proper carrying case and unloaded.
