BOSTON (WHDH) - A Florida woman is facing charges after she allegedly tried to board a plane at Boston’s Logan Airport with a handgun and loose bullets.

The Transportation Security Administration says officers stopped the woman on Sunday when a gun was spotted as her belongings entered a checkpoint X-ray machine.

Massachusetts State Police confiscated the handgun, along with four bullets, and detained the woman for questioning prior to citing her on a state weapons charge, according to the TSA.

TSA officers at Logan have caught five people with firearms in 2020. Eighteen people were busted in 2019.
