"Washington State Senator Arrested in Hong Kong for Carrying Firearm in Luggage: TSA Launches Investigation"

The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) is investigating after Washington state Senator Jeff Wilson was arrested in Hong Kong for bringing an unloaded firearm in his carry-on luggage. Wilson claimed it was an honest mistake and reported the firearm to customs officials upon discovering it mid-flight. He blamed the TSA for failing to detect the weapon during security screening in the US. Wilson has been charged with possession of an unregistered firearm and was released on bail. The TSA has been intercepting a record number of firearms at US airports this year.
