The Transportation Security Administration (TSA) officers at the airport detected the gun in the woman’s bag at the security checkpoint.
The TSA stated that the nine-millimeter gun was loaded, and the police confiscated it.
The woman is now facing weapons charges and a substantial fine for attempting to bring the gun onto a flight.
This is the seventh gun seizure at the checkpoint at Norfolk International Airport so far this year.
