North Texas residents set a high bar in 2015 when it came to bringing guns to the airport, accounting for nearly 8 percent of all the guns nabbed nationwide. So it's a little disappointing that DFW International this year hasn't even made the TSA's Instagram page. There, the agency updates its 596,000 followers with both individual finds and weekly posts quantifying the numbers of guns and/or knives discovered nationally.
Still, despite the absence of DFW, there have been some interesting catches at Texas airports, including some at Love Field. Here are a few Lone Star catches that the TSA social media called out for special mention.
1. Tiny .9mm at Love Field
2. Inert Mortar Shells in Longview
3. Clips and Cutlery at Austin-Bergstrom
4. Revolver at Love Field
5. Purse Pistol in San Antonio
6. He-Man Dagger at Love Field
