A West Virginia woman is accused of trying to bring an unlicensed gun through a checkpoint at the Pittsburgh International Airport.
TSA officers found the gun in a carry-on bag and alerted Allegheny County Police at 3:34 p.m. on Saturday.
Janessa Mann, 31, of Bridgeport, WV, faces felony charges because police said she did not have a concealed carry permit.
According to TSA, this is the fourth gun stopped at the airport within this month and the seventh this year.
The FBI has been called to investigate further.
Anyone who brings a gun to an airport checkpoint can face charges or a fine from TSA of up to $10,000. Repeat offenders can receive higher fines.
