Transportation Security Officer Jamie Keys recently discovered a loaded .38-caliber gun in a passenger's computer bag while working at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport. Police said the passenger claimed there were no weapons in the bag and that he had not touched the contents of the bag in more than a month. When the gun was discovered, however, it was directly under a copy of that day's newspaper. The passenger was arrested and charged with carrying a concealed weapon.
