Transportation Security Administration (TSA) reported on Wednesday that it had found 4,432 guns in passengers’ hand luggage at U.S. airports last year and 87 percent of them were loaded.

“The continued increase in the number of firearms that travelers bring to airport checkpoints is deeply troubling,” said TSA Administrator David Pekoske in the release.
