The TSA has reported a decrease in firearms discovered in passengers' carry-on luggage in 2024. At Orlando Airport, agents uncovered 150 firearms this year, a decline from the 164 found in 2023, and across Florida, there was a slight drop from 834 to 817 weapons.
It's reassuring to know that security measures are paying off, even if waiting in line isn't anyone's favorite activity. For those bringing firearms on flights, they must be unloaded, in a locked hard-sided case, and checked with the airline. Always plan extra time if you need to declare them.
Travelers can check security wait times on the MCO website to ensure they arrive early enough, and MCO's Reserve may help skip lines for a smoother journey. Share your thoughts about airport experiences or your travel tips!
