Airline employee charged after loaded gun found in carry-on bag at MSP Airport

A Buffalo, Minn., man who works for an airline was charged after a loaded gun was discovered last week in his carry-on bag at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, according to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and police.

TSA officers discovered the firearm at the south security checkpoint in Terminal 1 just after 5 p.m. Thursday after the employee was randomly selected for screening. MSP Airport Police responded to the checkpoint after a TSA officer detected the image of a handgun on an X-ray screen during the screening, authorities said Tuesday.

Airport Police subsequently charged Jordan Aloysius Carlson, 22, with presenting a prohibited item at checkpoint screening. Carlson was booked and released Thursday, and police said the investigation was ongoing.
