Massachusetts State Police were called to the scene and interviewed the 55-year-old passenger. They did a background check on the man and seized the .45 caliber revolver.
"Once again our officers are on top of preventing a firearm from entering the secure area of the airport," said Bob Allison, TSA's Federal Security Director for Massachusetts, in a statement. "When traveling with a firearm, gun owners need to have a permit to carry, and ensure the firearm is in a locked hard-sided container as checked baggage only. Finally, they need to declare the firearm and/or ammunition to the airline when checking their bag at the ticket counter."
