An Upstate New York man last Thursday was arrested at John F. Kennedy International Airport after a loaded handgun and two magazines were detected in his carry-on bag, according to the Transportation Safety Administration.
TSA agents stopped the Wallkill, N.Y., resident at the airport checkpoint when an X-ray machine picked up the weapon, which was loaded with 10 bullets, as it passed along the conveyor belt. The federal officers handed off the passenger to Port Authority cops.
