In 2023, the TSA screened approximately 23.1 million people departing from North Carolina airports, which is 17% higher than in 2022, which accounts to a firearm detected for every 98,182 travelers.
“Firearms can be transported on a commercial aircraft only if they are unloaded, packed in a locked, hard-sided case and placed in checked baggage. Any type of replica firearm is prohibited in carry-on baggage and must be transported in checked luggage,” the TSA states.
Firearms and ammunition must be declared during the check-in process as well.
