Jan 15, 2025, 4:40 PM | Updated: 4:51 pm

You’d think people got the memo that you can’t bring guns to the airport by now… But not so fast!

The Transportation Security Administration released its annual report of firearms found nationwide at airport screenings throughout the year, and Denver International Airport made the top ten on the list for some of the most firearms found.

Here are the airports with the most guns found at security in 2024:

Rank Airport Firearms found
1 Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport 440
2 Dallas Fort Worth International Airport 390
3 George Bush Intercontinental Airport 272
4 Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport 247
5 Nashville International Airport 188
6 Denver International Airport 166

The scariest part is 92% of the guns were loaded!
