Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport had the most guns detected in 2021, with 507 total. Airports in Dallas (317 guns found), Houston (245), Phoenix (196) and Nashville (163) rounded out the top five.

Nationwide, TSA officers detected 5,972 firearms at airport security checkpoints in 2021. That’s a significant increase from the 3,257 detected last year, and a spike from the 4,432 detected pre-pandemic. The TSA said approximately 86 percent of the guns found were loaded.

Pretty much as I might have predicted, but I woulda guessed that LAX would have sneaked in there since it's so big. Way to go Nashville making the big 5!.

Well, if you added both TX airports together, that would edge out ATL.

But if you did a throughput factor, which have the highest rate? ATL is massive. And a low detection rate could be disinterested morons too.
