ATLANTA -
Many count the "firsts" of the year, but the TSA is using their "first" at Atlanta's airport to warn those who would fly with firearms.
A spokesperson for the Transportation Security Administration says the first gun was found at a security checkpoint at Atlanta's Hartsfield Jackson International Airport on Wednesday. The gun was an unloaded .22 with 30 rounds in a carry-on bag.
They say that TSA discovered 100 firearms at checkpoints at the airport in 2012. That is 69 more than the year before.
