In 2024, TSA officials said 128 were obtained at security checkpoints across the state, and MSY saw 78 guns brought to the airport, down from 93 in 2023.
According to the TSA, 2024’s Louisiana statistics stand in comparison to the 6,678 firearms intercepted at airports nationwide in the same year, which was the first decrease since 2020, when COVID-19 led to fewer flight passengers in general.
So far this year, other airports in Louisiana have intercepted the remaining totals of firearms as follows: eight at Lafayette Regional Airport, three at Baton Rouge Metropolitan Airport, three at Shreveport Regional Airport and one each at Alexandria International Airport and Monroe Regional Airport.
